"Humanity in every age, and even today, looks to works of art to shed light upon its path and its destiny." --St. John Paul II
The St. Louise Players began producing live theater productions in 2005 with the vision of Fr. Fred Tomzik and under the direction of Dr. James Bergman, Joyce R. Pemberton and Vince Hilado. Their mission was to establish a theater group at St. Louise and within the local community. With this mission being accomplished in six successful productions, Dr. Bergman and Joyce have moved on to other projects; Vince has rejoined the group and has served in several capacities.
A Steering Committee was formed in 2010 and continues to guide the program.
Mr Jonathan Mercado joined the group as Director of a very successful production in 2011.
Ms. Barbara Molina made her directorial debut with a very successful production of Oliver! in 2012 and is our current director.
Mission Statement
St Louise de Marillac Players
Inspired by Jesus, who knew the value of a good story, the St. Louise de Marillac Players seek to serve the parish and larger community with a theatre program.
This program has four main goals:
- To provide a community building experience that is truly inter-generational, family friendly, and bridge building.
- To foster growth of individuals within themselves and in a group by use of an art form that is by its nature both personal and collaborative.
- To entertain and inspire.
- To be a net financial contributor to the parish.
We seek to accomplish these goals in a way that will bring honor and glory to God and growth and enjoyment to our members and audiences.
