Cape Theatre Company Joins The Worldwide Celebration Of All Saints Day With An Original Production

There's a common misconception that if you're not a Saint, then you're a sinner. If you study the lives of saints, they accepted their humanity and brokenness, and their zeal for God grew stronger. THIS is what makes a Saint.

"As actors, we must take on the whole person of the character we are playing. As we charted the Saints' journeys of spirit, walked through their lives, explored their vibrancy of faith and commitment, we found hope. There is no shame in being human-once we accept this gift, there is actual peace."-Sr. Danielle Dwyer

Join us for an ecumenical celebration of those we call Saints, portrayed through the lens of theatre. Elements Theatre Company (Orleans, MA) and Paraclete Press Inc. (Brewster, MA) present Battered and Bright: Celebrating the Saints. Meet these revered Saints-Peter, Paul, Patrick, Priscilla, Aquila, Catherine of Sienna, and Francis-whose stories will come to life through narratives and choral & movement pieces. Fire-lit basins, background projections, live music, and a large book sets the stage, allowing the audience to step into this world of Saints through the ages.

Jon Sweeney, Paraclete Press Editor-in-Chief, will moderate the post-performance discussions with Artistic Director Danielle Dwyer, CJ, and Dramaturg Brad Lussier. Guest speakers include Paraclete Press authors Bert Ghezzi, Susan L. Miller, and Donna-Marie Cooper O'Boyle; St. Peter's Lutheran Church pastor Christian Holleck (Harwich, MA); and others.
