Minneapolis playwright and actor John Woehrle will bring his play “Trust” to The Black Box Theatre & Gallery this August.
The play is centered on Michael, a young man who returns to his fictional alma mater in Minnesota to find that Father Daniels, the priest who abused him in his youth, is now the president of the institution.
Michael Novak, partner at Donohue Novak at Law in St. Cloud, plays a bishop in the production, and feels that the play offers a timely, tactful look at a sensitive subject.
“The play was written, in a sense, to be an intervention,” Novak said. “It is a riveting tale of survivorship.”
Novak went on to explain that the clergy abuse survivor’s group SNAP (Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests) had a role in the development of the project.
