About the Show

Two new works in one evening - one about the Catholic Church, & another about overcoming adversity.

"His Holiness" presents the events leading up to the creation of the Second Vatican Council in 1962, as Pope John XXIII tried to bring the church into the modern world.

"The Pilgrim Soul" follows the playwright's journey through her harrowing experience with cancer. Her wit, bravery; and determination inspire hope and light through the darkest times.

Both works will be presented together in a single evening, as part of Berman & Gill New Works in Repertory program.

Intelligent, Intense, Thought-provoking, Absorbing

See it if Deals with Pope John and illness. Good acting and direction.

Don't see it if It is deep and moving but deals with sickness. Moross.

Banal, Relevant, Thought-provoking, Riveting, Disappointing

See it if you want a quick take on Pope John XXIII in His Holiness or a heartfelt rendering of one woman living and dying with cancer in Pilgrim Soul.

Don't see it if you dislike distracting accents in His Holiness, are triggered by cancer pain or death. Both plays have simple sets and many scene changes. Read more
