About
Marian Theatre Project
These short plays offer a glimpse into the life of Jesus through the eyes of the Blessed Mother. Based on the Mysteries of the Holy Rosary and sacred Scripture, and inspired by modern day books and films, the Marian Theatre Project aims to paint the picture of our Our Lady's role as a mother "in real life". Our Lady is not only a beautiful painting or statue, she was a wife and mother who experienced great joy, great sorrow, and great struggles, as we all do...
About
the creator of Marian Theatre Project
Elizabeth Montigny -
Creator, Performer
It's been quite a journey from idea, to writing, to performing the Marian Theatre Project. I am grateful Jesus has inspired me to merge my faith and my passion for theatre. My mother (and her devotion to our Blessed Mother) encouraged me to start writing these short plays years ago but it wasn't until one day when I was feeding our youngest son and reading a headline about the persecution of Christians in the Middle East that I thought, well, this is only going to get worse before it gets better, what am I waiting for? That day I started to plan how I would bring these plays to you, from a logo to costumes, props, and, of course, the actual writing and rehearsal of these plays.
Though Our Lady doesn't say a lot in sacred Scripture, when she does speak, miracles happen. Between my imagination, the Holy Rosary, what Scripture and the mystics offer us, and of course, the Holy Spirit, there is plenty for me to work with in portraying only Mary. I have asked her to take the reigns of this project, especially under the title of Our Lady of Good Remedy, and while her timing is not my timing (patience is not a virtue I have), she has always lead me down the right path... which ultimately leads to her Son.
These plays are presented simply, no special accommodations necessary, and all that I need, I bring with me. It is my hope the mobility, accessiblilty, and simplicity of these works helps you feel what life may have been like for Mary loving and praying as a mother...
I am a wife, mom of three boys, and multi-passionate entrepreneur, you can learn more about what I offer here.
