UPDATE: "Cha
Joe" Run Completed
 The
Quo Vadis Theatre Company has finished staging the play "Cha
Joe" based on
the career of Fr. James Joseph "Joe" Devlin, S.J. who spent his
final years working at Our Lady of Peace Parish in Santa Clara,
CA. The play will cover his work in Việt Nam during the war,
in the "New Arrivals" camp in Marine Camp Pendleton in 1975, and
this work at the Songkhla and Sikieu refugee camps in Thailand
from 1979-1986.
This play was the culmination of research work done by G. C. Davis
and Gary Laidlaw, interviews by Denis Marks, coordination by QVTC
Interim President Marie Ballentine.
The idea came when QVTC was approached by Fr. Ray Devlin, S.J.,
Joe's younger brother and author of the biography "Cha." This
happened in 2007 when we were about to do our "On Tour With
Quo Vadis" fund-raiser show. Gary and G. C.
Davis immediately put an outline together about Fr. Devlin, based
not only on the book, but also Joe's own narrative as well as
other sources.
In 2011, some of the refugee orphans of the Children's Center in
the Songkhla, now grown, camp contacted QVTC. This resulted in a
interview with them for the TV show "ArtBeat" From out of
these interviews grew some scenes in the second act.
