SUMMER 2025 SEASON
The Story of Mary Lincoln
Matinees July 12 - 13
A one-woman play by Vaughn McBride
Mary Todd Lincoln was in many ways the first First Lady, a woman who insisted her voice be heard. Her awareness of the political pulse of this country was instrumental in the election of her husband as president. Mrs. Lincoln’s ego-driven idea of what the leader of a nation should be changed the White House into a figurehead residence fit for a president. She was an emancipated woman but remembered as a shrew committed to a mental institution. The horrors of her husband’s death and her own confinement are powerfully relived by an exasperating, loving, pushy, flirtatious, manipulating, and unpredictable woman…not always likable but therefore never dull.

Jesus...Doorman
August 22 - 31
What happens when a good ol’ church boy ends up running the door at the hottest nightclub in Hollywood? Does he fall to temptation or find a higher calling--or somewhere in between? This sitcom actor and doorman of an exclusive night club then became a priest on the Treasure Coast. Father Christian Anderson went from welcoming playboys at the hottest Hollywood spot to welcoming parishioners at the doors of a local church.
"Jesus Was Not a Doorman" is an autobiographical one-man show about a Hollywood actor/nightclub doorman who tries to balance a life of faith while operating in a world of untamed partygoers and wannabe Gatsbys. It’s a wild, fast-paced adventure of temptation and power, all while he was trying to do the right thing. With high energy and warm appeal, Fr. Christian Anderson slips in and out of a wide range of characters to bring to life his earlier days in Hollywood while also discerning the priesthood. Adult language and situations.
