"Vatican Falls" Benefit for SNAP

Lucia Grillo added to the cast of “VATICAN FALLS” 

A Benefit for SNAP

                        

Lucia Grillo

New York, NY (April 23, 2012) Impetus Ensemble is proud to add Lucia Grillo to the cast of this special presentation of an ambitious new play, Vatican Falls, written by Frank J. Avella (author of “Consent”) and set against the backdrop of the Catholic sex abuse scandal. The staged reading will be presented May 15, 2012 at 6:45PM at the National Comedy Theatre. All proceeds from the play will benefit SNAP (Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests). 

.

On April 11, 2012, the Center for Constitutional Rights, on behalf of SNAP, filed a supplemental complaint with more evidence and many new developments since the September lawsuit (link). 

.

Based on factual material, “VATICAN FALLS” follows the life of one survivor who struggles with understanding how those closest to him could damage him the deepest. The multi-genre, non-linear play probes the conflicting feelings involved in most sexual abuse situations and dares to confront the truth about the ever-growing scandal and the Church’s complicity in it.
