InFusion Theatre Company presents their inaugural production “The Last Supper,” the United States premiere play version of the 1995 film, both by Dan Rosen.  A dark comedy, this piece follows a group of liberal grad students – Peter, Paul, Mark, Luke and Jude – who invite a guest to exchange views on various topics each Sunday.  When a heated discussion leads to the death of a right wing extremist, it gives them an idea . . . they'll invite an undesirable person each week, and if they can't change their minds, they'll kill them.  The play runs about 100 minutes with one intermission.
