A CHURCH will become a theatre for the day as it welcomes a touring company for a day of drama.
St Joseph’s Catholic Church in Tilehurst is to host RISE Theatre, who will be performing their original play Faithful Companions in its church hall.
The faith-based play explores the story of Marie Madeleine d’Houët, who founded an international Society of Catholic sisters called the Faithful Companions of Jesus.
Set in 19th century France, it focuses on her desire to address what she saw as a great need in the world around her in and beyond, as well as exploring her Christian faith and what it meant to her.
RISE say that this is a story of faith, love, loss, discernment, vocation, social justice and missionary zeal.
The show lasts around 75 minutes and is suitable for ages 11 upwards. It is performed at the church in Berkshire Drive at 2.30pm and 7.30pm on Saturday, March 18.
