About RHAPSODIC THEATRE
Finding Inspiration in Every Turn
CHILDGOOD LIVING
Saint Pope John Paul II loved Marian devotions as a child.
Mass was a loving experience with gestures and meaning.
He worked in a quarry, and he thought about God as a shaper of the acting man.
Our Story
We are people
of the Books of Scripture.
We are storytellers.
We were created in the image of Trinitarian God.
Abraham is our true Pa-Pa.
Meet People In The Bible Through Prayer
From Saint Pope John Paul II's
play, "Job":
"But let not my will, Lord,
But let Your Will be done.
I now see revealed
what I asked, what I demanded
in sinful words and complaints.
He is the Judge who will try me;
He whom I called is coming.
What is my suffering, O Lord,
since my Redeemer lives."
What Happened To Job, whom we love so much?
He suffered, and he lived also a new life, friends.
And this is the first play JPII wrote.
Let's go to Poland before 1940, y'all.
The Rhapsodic Theatre emerged as a clandestine movement in Krakow during WWII.
The objective was to glorify God and to preserve Polish literature and culture.
Artists would meet in homes and recite poetry and new works also.
There were minimal sets and emphasis on “Theatre of the Word.”
Gestures were given through prayer and contemplation.
Pope Saint John Paul II wrote 6 plays here while living.
5 are existing in print today, including "Job" and "Jeremiah."
"David" is not existing in textual form today.
In 1960, while a Bishop in Poland, he wrote "The Jeweler's Shop," about the sacrament of marriage.
