 On December 4th and 6th, 2003, Our Lady Seat of Wisdom Academy’s Don Bosco Drama Club presented their first production, Christopher Marlowe’s play Dr. Faustus. The story of a man who sells his soul to the devil for 24 years of power, knowledge, and fame, the drama presents the dire consequences of letting the devil into one’s life, no matter how attractive his promises may be.

This play is the third I’ve had the privilege and the responsibility of directing for the Academy since the inception of the Don Bosco Drama Club in the Fall of 2003. People who have watched our development and perhaps attended our first two plays, Christopher Marlowe’s Dr. Faustus and Cathal Gallagher’s I Heard the Bell Toll, may have been surprised by our most recent choice. Our first was a dark tragedy with a somber message: don’t mess with the devil or he’ll mess you up. Our second was a serious story of a saintly medieval woman, Blessed Margaret of Castello. The message there: instead of blaming circumstances for our weaknesses, let’s allow God to use our infirmities to bring love, acceptance and healing to others.

 thumb_ihtbt_cover.pngBy every human standard Margaret of Castello should have become a bitterly unhappy girl. The odds against her were enormous. She was born blind, lame, a hunchback and a midget. While still a child, her parents walled her up in a cell to conceal her identity. After several years of confinement, her parents took her to a shrine hoping for a cure. When no cure was forthcoming, they abandoned her at the shrine. She was befriended by beggars who took her in, and taught her to be one of their own.
