"100 Saints You Should Know" centers on Father McNally, a conflicted priest who leaves his congregation to do some soul-searching at home while staying with his "uncomprehending" mother, Colleen.
This award-winning drama intriguingly extends to the strife between a cleaning lady, Theresa, and her 16-year-old daughter, Abby, as well as to Colleen's grocery delivery boy, Garrett, who is grappling with his own sexuality.
Each character in the play is seeking both spiritual and earthly bonds, or as Theresa says at one point in the show, "A surge of the heart, a cry of recognition and love."
The cast includes Paul Zeller as Father McNally, and features the mother/daughter team of Beth and Hannah Painter playing Theresa and her daughter Abby. Dreamcatcher Repertory veteran Noreen Farley plays Colleen. Rounding out the cast is Aaron Black as Garrett.
"100 Saints You Should Know" will run through April 11 at Edison Valley Playhouse, 2196 Oak Tree Road in Edison. Performances will begin at 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday, at 2 p.m. Sunday and at 8 p.m. April 11.
Tickets cost $20 for adults and $17 for seniors and students. For reservations, call (908) 755-4654.
