Merton and Me: A Living Trinity
Redeemer Explorers is delighted to announce a performance of this one-act, one-man play by New York-based actor, playwright, and retreat leader Douglas Hertler. “Merton and Me: A Living Trinity” is an intimate act of personal storytelling, exploring the struggles of youth, the complexities of faith, and the universal search for meaning and identity in an increasingly chaotic and divided world.
Inspired by Doug’s life-changing encounter with the writings of Cistercian monk Thomas Merton, this performance challenges the audience to reflect on two of the most humbling and fundamental of all questions: “Who am I?” and “What am I supposed to do with my life?”
Thomas Merton’s many writings on spirituality, civil rights, social, justice, nuclear war, institutional corruption, and inter-religious dialogue remain as resonant today as when he wrote over half a century ago. We are grateful to host this heartfelt theatrical encounter that brings his legacy to life in dialogue with a compelling personal voice.
Please join us for “Merton and Me” on Wednesday, May 10 at 7:30 PM. The play is 80 minutes long with no intermission, and a question-and-answer session with Doug will follow. Reserve your space below. There is no charge for admission, but we invite you to consider making a donation ($20 suggested) to Church of the Redeemer.
