Performance Run Completed

 The production ¡Viva Cristo Rey! The Story of Father Miguel Pro, has completed its  performance run at the Hoover Historic Theater in San Jose.   (October 2006)

 
This play takes place in Mexico during the mid-1920's.  It was the administration (1924-1928) of Plutarco Elias Calles, a ruthless anti-clerical and anti-religious individual who decided to put teeth into the anti-clerical laws that had been passed over a decade before.  The era marked one of the most horrific chapters in Mexico's history.   It was into this hellish environment that the fun-loving jokester and troubadour Fr. Miguel Augustin Pro was thrust.  Fr. Miguel was the "secret agent" of Christ.  While wearing different disguises (see right, as an auto mechanic when delivering a conference to a group of chauffeurs) he managed to bring the Sacraments, hope and Christ's loving mercy to many in Mexico City and other parts of Mexico.
