When Reverend Waters' daughter Regina decides to explore her secular side by taking a job as a dancer in a gentlemen's club, she encounters an unlikely patron...her father. Fireworks ignite. The ensuing fallout has serious repercussions for the whole family and the church. <em>God Is Going to Trouble the Waters</em> is a humorous tale about faith, family, friendship, community, and, ultimately, salvation.</p><h2>Show Times</h2><table><caption>Show times</caption><thead><tr><th>Date</th><th>Show Time(s)</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Thursday, May 1, 2025</td><td>7:30 p.m.</td></tr><tr><td>Friday, May 2, 2025</td><td>10:30 a.m. &amp; 7:30 p.m.&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Saturday, May 3, 2025</td><td>3:00 p.m.&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Sunday, May 4, 2025</td><td>3:00 p.m.</td></tr></tbody></table><h2>Tickets</h2><p>The cost of admission is $20.00 for the general public, $15.00 for seniors, $10.00 for non-Coppin students, free for Coppin students with ID.

When Reverend Waters' daughter Regina decides to explore her secular side by taking a job as a dancer in a gentlemen's club, she encounters an unlikely patron...her father. Fireworks ignite. The ensuing fallout has serious repercussions for the whole family and the church. <em>God Is Going to Trouble the Waters</em> is a humorous tale about faith, family, friendship, community, and, ultimately, salvation.</p><h2>Show Times</h2><table><caption>Show times</caption><thead><tr><th>Date</th><th>Show Time(s)</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Thursday, May 1, 2025</td><td>7:30 p.m.</td></tr><tr><td>Friday, May 2, 2025</td><td>10:30 a.m. &amp; 7:30 p.m.&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Saturday, May 3, 2025</td><td>3:00 p.m.&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Sunday, May 4, 2025</td><td>3:00 p.m.</td></tr></tbody></table><h2>Tickets</h2><p>The cost of admission is $20.00 for the general public, $15.00 for seniors, $10.00 for non-Coppin students, free for Coppin students with ID.

When Reverend Waters' daughter Regina decides to explore her secular side by taking a job as a dancer in a gentlemen's club, she encounters an unlikely patron...her father. Fireworks ignite. The ensuing fallout has serious repercussions for the whole family and the church. <em>God Is Going to Trouble the Waters</em> is a humorous tale about faith, family, friendship, community, and, ultimately, salvation.</p><h2>Show Times</h2><table><caption>Show times</caption><thead><tr><th>Date</th><th>Show Time(s)</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Thursday, May 1, 2025</td><td>7:30 p.m.</td></tr><tr><td>Friday, May 2, 2025</td><td>10:30 a.m. &amp; 7:30 p.m.&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Saturday, May 3, 2025</td><td>3:00 p.m.&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Sunday, May 4, 2025</td><td>3:00 p.m.</td></tr></tbody></table><h2>Tickets</h2><p>The cost of admission is $20.00 for the general public, $15.00 for seniors, $10.00 for non-Coppin students, free for Coppin students with ID.

When Reverend Waters' daughter Regina decides to explore her secular side by taking a job as a dancer in a gentlemen's club, she encounters an unlikely patron...her father. Fireworks ignite. The ensuing fallout has serious repercussions for the whole family and the church. <em>God Is Going to Trouble the Waters</em> is a humorous tale about faith, family, friendship, community, and, ultimately, salvation.</p><h2>Show Times</h2><table><caption>Show times</caption><thead><tr><th>Date</th><th>Show Time(s)</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Thursday, May 1, 2025</td><td>7:30 p.m.</td></tr><tr><td>Friday, May 2, 2025</td><td>10:30 a.m. &amp; 7:30 p.m.&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Saturday, May 3, 2025</td><td>3:00 p.m.&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Sunday, May 4, 2025</td><td>3:00 p.m.</td></tr></tbody></table><h2>Tickets</h2><p>The cost of admission is $20.00 for the general public, $15.00 for seniors, $10.00 for non-Coppin students, free for Coppin students with ID.

When Reverend Waters' daughter Regina decides to explore her secular side by taking a job as a dancer in a gentlemen's club, she encounters an unlikely patron...her father. Fireworks ignite. The ensuing fallout has serious repercussions for the whole family and the church. <em>God Is Going to Trouble the Waters</em> is a humorous tale about faith, family, friendship, community, and, ultimately, salvation.</p><h2>Show Times</h2><table><caption>Show times</caption><thead><tr><th>Date</th><th>Show Time(s)</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Thursday, May 1, 2025</td><td>7:30 p.m.</td></tr><tr><td>Friday, May 2, 2025</td><td>10:30 a.m. &amp; 7:30 p.m.&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Saturday, May 3, 2025</td><td>3:00 p.m.&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Sunday, May 4, 2025</td><td>3:00 p.m.</td></tr></tbody></table><h2>Tickets</h2><p>The cost of admission is $20.00 for the general public, $15.00 for seniors, $10.00 for non-Coppin students, free for Coppin students with ID.

When Reverend Waters' daughter Regina decides to explore her secular side by taking a job as a dancer in a gentlemen's club, she encounters an unlikely patron...her father. Fireworks ignite. The ensuing fallout has serious repercussions for the whole family and the church. <em>God Is Going to Trouble the Waters</em> is a humorous tale about faith, family, friendship, community, and, ultimately, salvation.</p><h2>Show Times</h2><table><caption>Show times</caption><thead><tr><th>Date</th><th>Show Time(s)</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Thursday, May 1, 2025</td><td>7:30 p.m.</td></tr><tr><td>Friday, May 2, 2025</td><td>10:30 a.m. &amp; 7:30 p.m.&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Saturday, May 3, 2025</td><td>3:00 p.m.&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Sunday, May 4, 2025</td><td>3:00 p.m.</td></tr></tbody></table><h2>Tickets</h2><p>The cost of admission is $20.00 for the general public, $15.00 for seniors, $10.00 for non-Coppin students, free for Coppin students with ID.

When Reverend Waters' daughter Regina decides to explore her secular side by taking a job as a dancer in a gentlemen's club, she encounters an unlikely patron...her father. Fireworks ignite. The ensuing fallout has serious repercussions for the whole family and the church. <em>God Is Going to Trouble the Waters</em> is a humorous tale about faith, family, friendship, community, and, ultimately, salvation.</p><h2>Show Times</h2><table><caption>Show times</caption><thead><tr><th>Date</th><th>Show Time(s)</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Thursday, May 1, 2025</td><td>7:30 p.m.</td></tr><tr><td>Friday, May 2, 2025</td><td>10:30 a.m. &amp; 7:30 p.m.&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Saturday, May 3, 2025</td><td>3:00 p.m.&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Sunday, May 4, 2025</td><td>3:00 p.m.</td></tr></tbody></table><h2>Tickets</h2><p>The cost of admission is $20.00 for the general public, $15.00 for seniors, $10.00 for non-Coppin students, free for Coppin students with ID.
