Merton and Me – a Living Trinity,
written and performed by Douglas Hertler, aka Doug Lory.
Sunday, June 8, 2pm
Inspired by his life-changing encounter with the writings of Thomas Merton, most notably Merton’s classic No Man Is an Island, Merton and Me is an intimate act of storytelling, a spiritual journey which explores the struggles of youth, the complexities of faith, and the universal search for meaning and identity in an increasingly chaotic and divided world.
While Douglas Hertler and Doug Lory struggle to understand the true nature of their respective identities, Thomas Merton appears and reappears, creating a synergy of spirit and psyche that serves as a mirror into the soul.
The audience is challenged to reflect on two of the most humbling and elusive of all questions, “Who am I?” and “What am I supposed to do with my life?”
The performance will start at 2pm on Sunday, June 8th. Doors will open at 1:30.
The show will run approximately 80 minutes without intermission, followed by a post-performance Q&A.
