Theatre

Performance as an art that points to the true, good, and beautiful.

Theatre

The theatre arts fill a unique role in exploring and communicating the human experience. Rooted in the universal need for understanding and communicative expression, theatre enables us to explore thought, feeling, and behavior by mirroring the human condition through imitation and symbolic action.

Pope John Paul II, in his 1999 Letter to Artists, made an appeal to artists of all mediums. He wrote, “I wish to remind each of you that...the close alliance that has always existed between the Gospel and art means that you are invited to use your creative intuition to enter into the heart of the mystery of the Incarnate God and at the same time into the mystery of man.”
