Treasure Digging, Polygamy, and The Hill Cumorah Pageant with Playwright Rob Lauer

Did you know that a groundbreaking play about Joseph Smith's treasure digging and folk magic was produced at BYU in the 80s, well before Michael Quinn's book was published?

Playwright and post Mormon Rob Lauer discusses his time at BYU during the era of intellectual revolution, his groundbreaking play "Digger," working with sci fi writer Orson Scott Card, his years as The Hill Cumorah Pageant director, his innovative new play about post manifesto polygamy, and more!

We couldn't get enough of Rob's stories and experiences, this episode could have gone to Mormon Stories length if we let it! We know you'll love getting to know Rob better just like we did.
