So Much Drama: The Theatrical Origins of Mormonism w/ Dr. Lee Krähenbühl

On this episode of Mormonish Podcast, Rebecca and Landon are joined by Dr. Lee Krähenbühl to discuss the theater's influence on the original Mormon endowment ceremony and other aspects of early Mormonism.

Dr. Lee Krähenbühl explores the question of why the LDS people have been so involved in theater since the beginning and what this means historically and for the present day.

This was a fascinating topic to delve into and we know you'll find it really interesting too!
