  • Dan West: Forgive Thyself

    Father Dan is just finishing up the days confessional when an unrecognized woman shows up with unique problem to confess. During the next ten minutes; the Father is forced examine his beliefs, explore exactly how much he is willing to accept on faith, and determine if he is even qualified to assist the very special parishioner at all. A short play that earns its laughs while leaving you ponder far weightier matters.

  • George Sapio: Forgive Thyself

    An exercise in ontological/theological conundrums! Father Dan has his hands full (armed with the occasional tumbler of very fine whiskey) with a parishioner whose dilemma turns out to be more challenging than he was prepared for. What does his faith tell him is right? What does reality tell him about his faith? A challenging piece--complete with a miracle or two--for both the actors and the audience.

  • Nora Louise Syran: Forgive Thyself

    A two-hander with whiskey--which is a good thing as Father Dan is going to need it. There's a lot to mull over in this piece. What if we really are living in a clockwork universe we share with our Creator? It's simple in terms of staging but will definitely leave an audience with something to think about.
