“The Call” is a play about a contemporary young adult Friend who experiences a leading to travel in the ministry. In her quest to be faithful to this call, she encounters misunderstanding, hurt, and anger but is upheld by an elder in her meeting. She is also mentored by “visits” from three Quakers who traveled in the ministry during the Colonial era.
