Saint Joan is a play about the historical figure Joan of Arc (a religious woman who fought for France in the 1400s and was burnt at the stake) written by George Bernard Shaw. The play has been adapted for a modern audience by director and playwright Jasmine Goodspeed. This production will take place in modern times, using the historical background to highlight the ongoing issues of our current era and politics. Joan’s passion has served as inspiration for hundreds of years. Passion and justice, however, can become a threat to those in positions of power. This play examines how the act of empowerment can turn from threat to a death sentence, and eventual martyrdom. Come, rally with us as we live the story of Saint Joan. May 10-11, 7:00, at PVPA.
Tickets available online and at the door as follows: General – $10 Military/Seniors – $7 Alumni – $5 Students – $3.
