College History Gardeners should look for an opportunity to see Sorin: A Notre Dame Story.  The one-person play is scheduling performance dates for 2019 and currently has performances in Houston, TX and Naples, FL.

Sorin: A Notre Dame Story presents the early history of the University of Notre Dame as told by the Holy Cross priest who founded it, Rev. Edward Sorin, C.S.C. "It is directed by Patrick Vassel ’07—Associate Director of the smash hit, Hamilton—and written by celebrated playwright Christina Telesca Gorman ’91 with immersive projections by Ryan Belock ’11. Sorin stars Anthony Lawton ’89 as Father Sorin in a transformational performance that carries the audience through a sweeping journey of faith, character, and resolve."  You can also view a short trailer on YouTube.

Those interested in Notre Dame's history can also find a transcript of "The Story of Notre Dame," in the December 1942 issue of The Notre Dame Alumnus. This radio play was written by Richard Sullivan a faculty member in Notre Dame's Department of English and was originally broadcast by NBC radio for a nationwide audience on November 25, 1942.
