What They Are Saying About Haunted By God ...

Hailed in Sojourners magazine as a "wonderfully uplifting theater experience" this dramatic portrait tells the story of the woman the New York Times eulogized as a "nonviolent social radical of luminous personality."

"It's not easy to capture the spirit of a woman nominated for sainthood, but Wagner does it with charm, wit and tremendous faith in the power of her words. Day is fascinating because she was so human and so holy at the same time, and Wagner and her co-writers ... are wise enough to show both sides. They skillfully balance Day's charms, passions, mistakes and misgivings making the point that people who are not perfect in a dogmatically religious sense are still capable of performing great acts of faith and love."

    Chicago Reader

"a charming and compelling warts-and-all portrait," adding that "Wagner's performance is so riveting-she plays, with equal ease, Day as a young Greenwich Village bohemian, as middle-aged radical, and as an elderly wise leader-that even those not entirely sympathetic with Day's sadly unfashionable views on U.S. imperialism and feeding the poor will be moved."

  • Cost: There is a sliding scale of $600 - $1,000 per performance, plus travel, room and board. Some places charge a ticket fee, and others pass the hat. Some churches absorb the cost entirely. If a second show is booked nearby, the two groups can split the travel costs.
  • Travel: Lisa Wagner, the actress, needs roundtrip fare on bus, train or plane from Chicago, and will need to be transported to and from the airport, hotel or home, performance place, etc.
  • Food and Lodging: She gladly will stay in a home, convent, rectory, or hotel.
  • Performance space - The show requires a 20' by 20' playing area and a 10' ceiling, also a 2' minimum elevation above the audience seating area. Good lighting is helpful and good acoustics are essential. The play cannot be performed in an echoing hall or gym. Poor acoustics can be overcome by a wireless microphone provided by our hosts.
