Main Street in the Village of Wappingers Falls.

“Incorruptible” is a dark comedy about the dark ages. Welcome to Priseaux, France, c. 1250 A.D. The river flooded again. The chandler’s shop just burned to the ground. Nobody’s heard of the wheelbarrow yet. And St. Foy, the patron of the local monastery, hasn’t worked a miracle in thirteen years. In other words, the Dark Ages still look dark. All eyes turn to the Pope, whose promised visit will surely encourage other pilgrims to make the trek and restore the abbey to its former glory. That is, until a rival church claims to possess the relics of St. Foy—and their bones are working miracles. All seems lost until the destitute monks take a lesson from a larcenous one-eyed minstrel, who teaches them an outrageous new way to pay old debts.

The production features the local talents of Kevin Barnes, Thomas Byrne, Donna Conway, Heather Foglia, Devin Gibbs, Eric Grayson, Kiara Jemmott, and John Leinung. Of this production director Colbourn says, “‘A Dark Comedy about the Dark Ages’ - What’s funny about the dark ages, you ask? Come see Incorruptible and find out! A hilarious and then touching story about the nature of faith.”
