WABASH, IN – Honeywell Arts & Entertainment will present the movie theatre debut of Wayfaring Stranger at the Eagles Theatre on Sunday, July 16 and July 23, at 7:00 p.m. in the main Eagles Theatre. Wayfaring Stranger was written, directed, and produced by Huntington University film students and Forester Films LLC professional crew members, featuring actors Stephen Baldwin and Bethany Lind.

More than 30 Huntington University film students and 15 professional crew members worked alongside over 50 extras and a dozen SAG actors during the film shoot, including Stephen Baldwin (The Usual Suspects) and Bethany Lind (Ozark). Huntington University is the first private university in Indiana to produce a feature-length film. Forester Film LLC is a local production company created by Huntington University professors Dr. Lance Clark and Professor Matt Webb under the auspice of Huntington University. Clark and Webb have experience in corporate media, music videos, and independent
feature films. This was the duo’s first feature film, which Matt Webb wrote and directed, and Lance Clark produced.
Wayfaring Stranger is based on the true story of the Clark family set in 1970s rural America. A 12-year-old pastor’s son and his family befriend a middle-aged, broken-down country singer who helps the boy embrace his musical calling and the pastor build a new church. Former country singer Glenn Frank becomes a part of the Clark family by secretly teaching young Lance to play the guitar and working side-by-side with Pastor Doyle, all while wrestling his demons of alcohol abuse. His untimely
death brings the community together to finish the project and unite a new church family.
Dr. Lance Clark states, “We were excited to bring to Northeast Indiana professionals from around the country, many of them Huntington University alums, to mentor our students on this large-scale SAG film project. It was a true team effort and could never have been made without the support and love of our friends, family, and our local community’s charity and goodwill.”
Full concession stand offerings will be available for purchase during the showing, including pizza, hot dogs, nachos, mozzarella sticks, pretzels, slushies, candy, popcorn, and more.
