‘Missionary Position’ ‘Missionary Position” is a full-length comedy about Mormon missionaries. It touches on many things, including faith, integrity ambition, sexuality, and community. Earnest at times, and slightly irreverent at others, it explores, reflects, and celebrates some of the interesting (and peculiar) aspects of Mormon culture. Synopsis: Full of anticipation, Elder Robert Wood packs for his mission. As the great, great grandson of Epaphroditus Wood, the greatest missionary in Church history, Elder Wood believes he, too, will be a powerful instrument in the Lord’s hands to call sinners to repentance, work miracles, and convert many to the Truth. However, things do not go as expected, and as he nears the end of his mission, Elder Wood has not baptized a soul. His mission president gives him one last chance to redeem himself before going home. He charges Wood with turning Elder Diaz, an incoming missionary with a troubled past, into a strong member of the Church. Wood tries to inspire his new disciple; however, Diaz’s free spirit gets both him and Wood into comical situations, and his probing mind soon has Wood questioning everything he had held sacred. Elder Wood’s wrestling finally creates a missionary to make his great, great grandfather, Epaphroditus, proud.
