Portraying Dorothy Day on a stage would seem a challenge of formidable proportions in and of itself. But to do those portrayals in a series of makeshift settings, church sanctuaries and communal dining rooms—as well as on actual stages—raises the stakes of such a challenge. Sarah Melici

An essay by Dorothy Day from April 19, 1933.
Servant of God Dorothy Day (1897-1980) was an American Catholic activist and founded the Catholic Worker movement, establishing houses of hospitality and advocating pacifism.
In 1972, for her 75th birthday, the editors of America dedicated an entire issue to Day, writing: "By now, if one had to choose a single individual to symbolize the best in the aspiration and action of the American Catholic community during the last forty years, that one person would certainly be Dorothy Day."
Day's cause for canonization is being explored by the Holy See.
