About the Show

Anything but a typical coming out story, this new play is set in three different centuries, where three different men share a name and a pursuit of the truth - and what it means in their lives.

From the show:

As part of its year long Stonewall 50 commemorating theatre series REBELS, ROWDIES AND REVOLUTIONARIES, Theatre at St. Johns is excited to present a National Coming Out Day special production that interweaves stories of love, faith, and self-discovery. MARC IN VENICE is a unique play that is anything but a typical coming out story. Set in three different centuries, three different men share a name and a pursuit of the truth - and what it means in their lives. Faith and fear, adventure and risk, love and courage come into play as a saint runs from his call, a great traveler strives to tell his story, and a young man finds himself, all in the romantic city of Venice.

Romantic, Great acting, Great writing, Entertaining, Ambitious

See it if You like multiple storylines that intertwine, each good on its own but ultimately come together to make one point. Great costumes. Funny.

Don't see it if You can’t follow different stories set in different points in time all taking place at the same time. Very well done but pay attention. Read more

Intelligent, Thought-provoking, Clever, Absorbing, Ambitious

See it if you like Venice, like a story encompassing 3 time periods from early Christians to Marco Polo to modern gays, enjoy a good story

Don't see it if you expect elaborate scenery, lighting & costumes, don't like gay subplots or religious characters, have no patience for pasted on beards
