St. Brigid (Katherine O&#x27; Sullivan) returns to earth in an attempt to update the Catholic Church. In a joint effort together with Goddess Brigid (Meg Hennessy) they set out to convince the pope (Tom Paolino) that women belong in the all-male hierarchy of the church. The pompous US Bishop Trot (Thom Molyneaux) is causing trouble, speaking out against the pope’s attempts to move forward. Hymns and songs (singer Susan McKeown) help the saint in her efforts while the narrator (Ryan Cahill) aids with ghostly comings and goings. Still, a touch of goddess magic may be necessary to help improve this difficult situation. Starring Katherine O’ Sullivan, Meg Hennessy, Tom Paolino, Thom Molyneaux and Ryan Winter Cahill with songs from Grammy-winning vocalist Susan McKeown Saturday 18 February 7PM - Trinity LES Chapel, 602 East 9th Street at Tompkins Square Park, NYC
