| Sunday April 1 2012 | Conservatory of Theatre Arts at Webster University student productions. 100Saints You Should Know (Directing Project) Like Fodor's debut play, 100 Saints You Should Know tackles a big subject: Faith — the difficult questions that make it a constant struggle even for true believers and which frequently leave those who doubt or reject it in turmoil. . The pivotal character here is a young priest furloughed from his church post by superiors skittish about any hint of noncnforming priestly behavior. His dilemma puts the widely documented crisis in the priesthood into a broader context of an alienated society which chips away at people's ability to rely on the comforting rituals of faith.

On the contrary, they are nodding their heads in agreement and laughing in recognition Whether members of the audience can relate to the forty-something couples who come of age in the radical seventies, become parents under the Reagan administration, and then either solidify or lose touch with their long-term relationships, the play exposes the same, universal insecurities that people face every time there are shattering changes in their lives. Marguhes' characters are real. They are normal. They are family, friends, and the people next door. They are people facing their fears. Details to follow.
