A Bright New Boise In the bleak, corporate break room of a craft store
in Idaho, someone is summoning The Rapture. Will, who has fled his
rural hometown after a scandal at his Evangelical church, comes to the
Hobby Lobby, for a chance for a new start along with the possibility
of connecting with his past. Alex works there along with Leroy, his
adopted brother and protector, and Anna, a hapless young woman who
reads bland fiction but hopes for dramatic endings. As their manager,
foul-mouthed Pauline, tries ceaselessly to find order (and profit) in
the chaos of small business, these lost souls of the Hobby Lobby
confront an unyielding world through the beige-tinted impossibility of
modern faith. Samuel D. Hunter’s A Bright New Boise is a earnest
comedy about the meager profits of modern faith.
