In this production, written by Nicholas Alva, the life of St. Francis of Assisi represents an individual’s profound realization of positive change. The story is presented in the form of a narrative collage of poetry, prose, music and dance. The goal of “The Story Orchestra is to revive existing works of art, and to perform them anew in a combined and varied context. In addition to the songs of Donovan “The Story Brother Sun Sister Moon” will include written works of art from India, Persia, the Middle East, the Gospels, Ancient and Medieval Europe, as well as contemporary and original works. Many of the texts from these various cultures were created during the time of St. Francis.
This will be a mostly non-amplified event of voice actors, singers, wind instruments, hand percussion, acoustic bass guitar and dancers. It will be an intimate performance in intimate venues, so seating will be limited. Tickets available at the door, but please RSVP either at
707-795-3545, or, [email protected], to assure a seat reservation. The website www.morningstarplay.com is being updated, and will soon feature information on the performers, text and production!

In Joy, Enjoy
