American Theatre Company's Chicago premier of The People's Temple is presented in honor of the 30th anniversary of the Jonestown Massacre which resulted in over 900 men, women and children being killed under the watchful eye of their leader, Jim Jones. This engrossing play, expertly directed by its creator, Leigh Fondakowski, unfolds as a pseudo documentary, features a talented ensemble of actors playing numerous roles all with the goal of determining how and why individuals followed Jones and more importantly, what drives a soul to follow a leader so blindly.
