Cambridge —
It’s the kind of thing that would have been completely unbelievable a decade ago, but Cambridge playwright Michael Mack is performing a one-man show at his Harvard Square Catholic church about sexual abuse he suffered decades ago at the hands of a priest.
“I was delighted that the parish is going to be the venue for hosting this,” said Barbara Thorp, director of the Office of Pastoral Outreach and Child Protection for the Boston Archdiocese.
Mack will perform “Conversations with my Molestor” at Saint Paul Parish on Mount Auburn Street on Thursday, March 29 – the first performance he will give in a church.
“This is kind of a new angle on the play because it will be in a Catholic church, which is kind of where it all began – not that church,” Mack said, over tea at the S&S Deli and Restaurant on Thursday.
