About this Event
WITNESS! As never before seen in Heaven or Earth! The ascension of St Joan of Arc into Heaven! Confusion about Sainthood! Discussions of VIRGINITY! Saints! Angels! Cake!
Welcome to Saints’ Heaven, and congratulations for being here! You must be really great. Today is St. Marinos’ Saints Day and we’re so glad that you could join the other Canonized to celebrate him. The Angels have helped him prepare his reenactment for you all, and we hear that Jesus is making a cake. We might even have a special guest arriving - have you ever heard of Joan of Arc?
How to Become a Saint (while wearing pants) uses clown, physical theater and music to explore sainthood. We highlight three saints who had major transitions in their lives: St. Marinos (female to monk), Margery Kempe (mother to virgin), and Joan of Arc (country girl to gender nonconforming military leader and icon). By looking at their stories, we ask: who gets to be a saint? What stories do we want to celebrate? And how does cake taste so good?
Written & Performed by Lex Alston, Becca Canziani, Brooke Ferris, Lynn Hodeib, and Ania Upstill
