FAITH LOST/FAITH FOUND

Musical (workshop reading)

Role: Sawyer

Ella is just finishing up her first year teaching fourth grade at St. Anthony, a Catholic school in southern California. She is unexpectedly fired on the last day of school and quickly pinpoints her queerness as the real reason she was let go. Around the same time, she meets an individual named Sawyer, and the two begin dating. Ella’s path forward in her career as well as her religious identity is largely influenced by this new relationship, and over the course of the summer, she learns how to grapple with her past and present as a means of shaping her future.
