(Photo by Evan Agostini/Invision/AP, File)Hill, who as Naz also earned a Tony nomination for best lead male actor in a play, calls Young “the heart and joy of our little family over there at the Helen Hayes.”“She enters the building and she just makes time for everyone and is genuinely excited to see people and hear about how they’re doing,” he says. “I’ve really never seen anyone have as much room in their consciousness and their being for everyone she encounters. She approaches every day with joy and curiosity and enthusiasm.”

If there’s one story that shows who Young is, it would be from the day of thewhich she and cast members of “Purpose” were invited, along with its playwright. That same day, Jacobs-Jenkins won the Pulitzer Prize for drama.

Young found out while getting her makeup done and began screaming. When she got to the gala — a look-at-me moment, if there ever was one — she was a walking advertisement for the play. “I told everybody, ‘You have to come and see this play. He just won a Pulitzer!’”

Hill was right behind her and smiling as Young made connections and introductions. “She was just going up to everyone and introducing us and talking about our show and trying to get folks in the door.”Mase-Hasegawa agreed that Hidden Christianity is on its way to extinction. “As a researcher, it will be a huge loss,” she said.

Masashi Funabara, 63, a retired town hall official, said most of the nearby groups have disbanded over the last two decades. His group, which now has only two families, is the only one left, down from nine in his district. They meet only a few times a year.“The amount of time we are responsible for these holy icons is only about 20 to 30 years, compared to the long history when our ancestors kept their faith in fear of persecution. When I imagined their suffering, I felt that I should not easily give up,” Funabara said.

Just as his father did when memorizing the Orasho, Funabara has written down passages in notebooks; he hopes his son, who works for the local government, will one day agree to be his successor.Tanimoto also wants his son to keep the tradition alive. “Hidden Christianity itself will go extinct sooner or later, and that is inevitable, but I hope it will go on at least in my family,” he said. “That’s my tiny glimmer of hope.”
