Dancing in the Garden - On StageDancing in the GardenDrama. 2 men, 3 women Maria is having a crisis of faith. As a child, her life was a beautiful garden – and her garden had loving Italian-American parents, a doting family priest, the security of an embracing church and a rigid-but-comfortable Catholic upbringing. It isn't until she is a sophomore at St. Patrick's High and she kisses Susan Blakeman behind the curtains in the music room, that her life begins to unravel. As she discovers the impossibility of reconciling her sexuality with her religion, she learns her garden has strict rules and the exhilaration of dancing is not allowed. Even knowing she is incapable of changing who she is, she refuses to abandon her faith and she is paralyzed. Maria guides the audience back through her journey as a lesbian Catholic in hopes that if they share a similar pain, they may also discover a path as she has, to tremendous joy. |
