Play about Father Moye’s Project to take place Friday

The OLLU community is invited to the performance of “Father Moye’s Project: Providence and Living Legacy” Friday at 2 p.m. in Thiry Auditorium. This original one-act play was written and is directed by Antoinette F. Winstead, MFA, ACDP, OLLU’s Drama Program Head and Mass Communication faculty member. This play was made possible through funding from a NetVue Grant for Reframing the Institutional Saga, allowing for us to “re-examine and reframe” Our Lady of the Lake University’s (OLLU) “history, identity, and heritage in light of its present context.”

This memory play will take you from the beginning of Father John Martin Moye’s call to “serve the underserved,” and the Sisters of Divine Providence who kept his legacy alive, through the founding of OLLU, and the impact their dedication and hard work has had on the lives of so many who have benefitted from his providential vision to educate young girls who would not have otherwise received an education, to the present day and how his “Project” and the Congregation of Divine Providence continue to impact the lives of those who attend and have attended OLLU.

For additional information, please contact the Mission and Ministry Division at missionandministry@ollusa.edu or call 210-528-7171. The play is sponsored by the Network for Vocation in Undergraduate Education, Mission and Ministry and the Drama Program.
