The venue and its conditions
A rent-free chapel, offered on four conditions
1
No admission fee
Guests register in advance at FCC with a suggested donation, on a card printed without a price.
2
Religious in nature
The content must be religious. The story of the Hidden Christians meets this plainly, and the marketing will present it that way.

School events come first
The school confirms its 2027 calendar in March 2027, so 13 November is provisional until then. That is the first checkpoint.

A thank-you, not a rental
The chapel cannot be rented. The school suggested a ¥10,000 donation; the budget carries for a three-act staging.
Moving here removed a rental. A chapel has no stage, rig or house sound, so the budget hires them in.
