Editorial Reviews

"Michele has produced a drama that is born from a heart filled with love for St. Teresa of Avila. She captures the faith of the great saint whose story is fitting in this age of a profound renewal of the Church. She acts with a conviction inspired by Teresa."
Fr. James F. Kauffmann, SSL

"Ms. Morris in Teresita exceeded our expectations with the depth of the story, the poignancy of the message, and the sheer entertainment value. She puts a human face on this saint whose lofty reputation can have a dehumanizing effect. I highly recommend her show for audiences of children and adults alike. For us, one performance was not enough."
Fr. Robert Novokowsky, FSSP

"Michele Morris has created a compelling and important script and performs it with dynamic sincerity. Her one-woman play, Teresita, reaches out to us and penetrates into the depths of what each of us defines as 'faith.' I am so pleased to recommend that you experience this show!"
