Marc in Venice

As part of its year long Stonewall 50 commemorating theatre series REBELS, ROWDIES AND REVOLUTIONARIES, Theatre at St. Johns is excited to present a National Coming Out Day special production that interweaves stories of love, faith, and self-discovery. MARC IN VENICE is a unique play that is anything but a typical coming out story. Set in three different centuries, three different men share a name and a pursuit of the truth - and what it means in their lives. Faith and fear, adventure and risk, love and courage come into play as a saint runs from his call, a great traveler strives to tell his story, and a young man finds himself, all in the romantic city of Venice.

Cast:
Francesco Campari*, Colin Colford, Howard Collado, Jackson Goldberg, Jorge Humberto Hoyos, Nancy Lindeberg*, Zach Lusk, Jackie Maruschak*, Aristotle Stamat, Kevin Stevens*.

Audience members of a recent workshop production said:

Run, don't walk to see this production!!...the play was so well written.

Serious, yet whimsical, ...both existential and personal. Delightful."

Reminded me where hope is to be found.

An engaging meditation on the unchanging power of truth
in the midst of the changes of history. It was funny and moving.

An intense and provocative play

Reminds us that Truth is still an honorable and worthwhile journey.
