Miracle in Yan Yang Prison - (1 main actor and up to 12 supporting actors) Father Patrick Reilly died peacefully on January 25, 1998 at the age of 76, a priest for 52 years. Ordained only six months prior to his arrest by Chinese Communists, Fr. Reilly spent 14 months as a prisoner for the crime of being a Catholic. By the miraculous chain of events that brought tiny bits of both bread and wine into his cell, Fr. Reilly celebrated Mass on the Feast of the Assumption with only the fllor and cuff of his shirt on which to lay the Host. He wrote, "Jesus Christ was really present with me in that cell. All other visitors had been prevented from coming near me because of many locked doors. But they could not stop the King of Kings." This is a poignant portrayal of those events.
The Evening News - (8 actors) This one-act play uses the inspiration of imagination to suggest what the newscasts of Holy Week might have been for the parents of Peter and Andrew if they had possessed a radio.
