The Saints Tour is a traveling play that's re-written for and with the community in which it occurs, based on the local history, stated needs and particular talents of the participants of the play itself. Based in structure on Medieval mystery plays, its audience travels by bus or on foot through a neighborhood, guided by a "Tour Guide" character who tells the stories of the past and present "saints" of the region. During the journey, musicians, artists, and other local partners appear or are represented as part of the stories, which are a balance of real and imagined history. During the course of the play, audiences are asked to perform a specific act of good that will impact the community in some way, in order to complete the play's narrative.
Originally produced in Louisville, KY, The Saints Tour has been re-created in Lower Manhattan, NYC's West Village, and Braddock PA. Included here is the script (with photos) of the Braddock production in 2015.
