Spectacle
Friday, Apr. 20, Saturday, Apr. 21 and Sunday, Apr. 22 | UD, Kennedy Union
This world premiere original musical tells the story of the founding of the Marianists, featuring all the major players: Fr. William Joseph Chaminade, Marie-Thérèse de Lamourous, and Mother Adèle de Batz de Trenquelléon. Set during and after the French Revolution, the show tells the story of Fr. Chaminade's courage to do priestly ministry under persecution, Marie-Thérèse's efforts to improve women’s lives, and Adèle's struggle in choosing religion over marriage, while all three collaborated to build communities of faith. The title reminds us of Fr. Chaminade's call to all Marianists to be a "spectacle of saints." Tickets are available here .
