100 Saints You Should Know
Mainstage Theater
Written by
Kate Fodor
Directed by Ethan McSweeny
Theresa cleans the rectory of the local parish to support her unruly teenage daughter. When its priest is forced to leave the church under uncertain circumstances and return home to his protective mother, Theresa finds herself compelled to pursue him. One eventful night joins them all, forcing a reckoning with the broken memories and shaken faith that divides them – and the discovery of a shared, yet tenuous, common ground.

“IT’S A BEAUTY! THE CAST IS EXQUISITE. LOIS SMITH IS LUMINOUS. If KATE FODOR is not a name you recognize, this is a play you should know.”
— Linda Winer, Newsday“★★★★. A GENTLE, LOVELY NEW PLAY WITH A FIRST RATE CAST.”
— Adam Feldman, Time Out New York
“Fodor’s play glows with the sense that the keenest evidence of the search for God is in the homiest details.”
— Ben Brantley, The New York Times“A thoughtful study in spiritual longing. Beautifully acted under ETHAN McSWEENY’s direction.”
— Michael Sommers, The Star-Ledger
