Poor Claire

The season opens with Chiara Atik’s “Poor Clare,” which runs at the Bryan Campus Student Center at 7 p.m. Thursday through Saturday, Oct. 17-19, and 2 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 20.

 

 

The play is set in medieval Italy, where young Clare has it all – money, beauty, and a wealthy suitor. However, she’s ready to give it all up when she meets Francis, who opens her eyes to a whole new world in this modern interpretation of St. Clare of Assisi’s journey from a life of privilege to one of compassion and generosity.

 

 

“I wanted to bring a show to life that has a deeper message, but also is a lot of fun on the surface,” said Dr. Evleen Nasir, who will direct the show. “This is ‘Clueless’ meets 13^th-century Italy.”

 

 

“Poor Clare” is suitable for ages 17 and up.
