Lord make me an instrument of your peace; Where there is hatred,

Let me so love;

Where there is injury, pardon;

Where there is doubt, faith; Where there is despair, hope;

Where there is darkness light; and where there is sadness, joy;

O, Divine Master,

Grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;

To be understood as to understand;

to be loved as to love;

For is is in giving we receive, It is in pardoning the we are pardoned, and in dying that we are born to eternal life.

THE STORYTHE_STORY.html

Frank, the Musical, was developed in response to War. Frank epitomizes pro-peace sentiment within the context of the life of St. Francis of Assisi. 

Set in contemporary time the story retraces the path that led

Francis from the life of a party boy, to a soldier and

finally to a life of peace and service to all.


Within this body of work, man’s common

internal struggle with power, prestige and fame is explored. 

The play gives witness to the challenge and changes soldiers face

when reentering into a society in which they know, but no longer fit. 

The audience is left to answer the question, “Where does the real madness lie?”.


The Play Has Grown Since Last You Saw It!

Four New Songs! Added Scenes!
