"Behold God’s Love: A Eucharistic Musical" Saturday, July 6 at 1 and 7 p.m. The McGrath Institute for Church Life is proud to sponsor the world premiere of "Behold God’s Love: A Eucharistic Musical." Written in honor of the National Eucharistic Revival and featuring a cast of talented South Bend performers, this three-act musical invites audiences to encounter the beauty of the Eucharist anew through imaginative portrayals of stories from Scripture. Act I recalls the Passover, the Exodus, and the miraculous manna in the desert, which has long been interpreted by Christians as a prefigurement of the Eucharistic Bread of Life. Act II highlights different meals from the ministry of Jesus, culminating in the Last Supper and the institution of the Eucharist. Act III depicts the apostle Paul and the Christians of Corinth as they celebrate the Eucharist together and learn what it means to become the love of Christ in the world. Joyous, light-hearted, and profoundly spiritual, "Behold God’s Love" will inspire viewers to a deeper love of Jesus Christ, truly present in the Eucharist.

As You Like ItBy William ShakespeareDirected by Sara Holdren BUY TICKETS The rules of romance are upended in As You Like It, a gloriously entertaining romantic comedy that gleefully interrogates traditional notions of gender, politics, and love. Shakespeare’s dizzying mash-up of romantic escapades, disguised lovers, and mistaken identities amuses and entertains as much as it provokes and challenges. As You Like It is brought to life by the Notre Dame Shakespeare Festival’s Professional Company, under the direction of Sara Holdren, a multitalented theatrical director who’s also been a regular theatre critic for New York Magazine. Fast, funny, and engaging, As You Like It promises to be a delightful night of theatrical entertainment. Banished to the idyllic forest of Arden, irrepressible heroine Rosalind seeks to restore her long-exiled father to his rightful place as ruler, while romantically entangled with the put-upon hero Orlando. As a merry cast of characters fall in and out of love (and in and out of disguise), Rosalind strives to restore the harmony of her world -- and reclaim her family’s stature.
