“Alvin Vogtle Escapes” is the newest one-man play commissioned by Vulcan Park and Museum. Written and directed by Lee Shackleford, the one-act drama highlights the adventurous life of Birmingham resident, Alvin Vogtle, whose story influenced the 1963 film “The Great Escape” starring Steve McQueen. During World War II, Vogtle attempted to escape German POW camps four times before succeeding on his fifth attempt in 1945. After the war, Vogtle returned to Birmingham and worked as an attorney, and, in 1970, became the CEO of Southern Company. During his tenure as CEO, he made several tough decisions that resulted in the survival of the company during the energy crisis and its continued success today. This program is brought to you with generous support from the Alabama Power Foundation, the Alabama State Council on the Arts, Balch Bingham, and Southern Nuclear.

ReThink Conference
2017-04-21 - 2017-04-22 | Briarwood Presbyterian, 2200 Briarwood Way, Vestavia , AL, 35243, United States
An outspoken atheist for much of his life, cold case detective J. Warner Wallace was familiar with two types of Christians as a young adult: fellow cops who had an evidential approach to their work but had no idea evidentially why Christianity was true, and the apologetic criminals he hauled off to jail. He wanted nothing to do with faith until age 35, when he decided to put his detective skills to work on the New Testament accounts of the life of Christ. Now a Christian apologist, blogger and best-selling author, Wallace will speak at the ReThink Apologetics Student Conference.
