Questions & Answers
Why form a Catholic Theatre Company?
Because there are few, (10 total that we know of).
To put on plays with Catholic theme or content.
What kinds of plays?
Plays about the Saints, Martyrs, and other heroes of the Catholic faith,
sung and unsung, (e.g. Margaret Clitherow, Matt Talbot, Oliver Plunkett,
Margaret of Castello, Claude Newman, Miguel Pro, Malcolm Muggeridge,
Mother Teresa, Franz Jägerstätter, James Joseph "Joe" Devlin) Some of these plays are being written by our
playwrights. Also contemporary plays that explore issues of faith,
morality, and humanity.
Why is this necessary?
We believe great theater can shape moral character. We also believe that
modern entertainment has contributed to the collapse of spiritual values.
We owe it to our young people to do something about it.
