HAUNTED BY GOD: THE LIFE OF DOROTHY DAY is a moving dramatic portrait of one of the most outspoken and influential American Catholics of the 20th century. The production incorporates all the wit and prophetic grit of Dorothy’s own words about war, peace, American society, compassion, and protest in the Spirit of Jesus. This performance is offered by the talented Lisa Wagner. See her full bio below.
This show will take place in the Temple Meditation Chapel.
The suggested ticket donation $20.
