In 100 Saints You Should Know, a priest who must reconcile his desires with his role in the church, a teenage boy confused about his own sexual identity, and a young woman desperate for spiritual validation, are all brought together on one fateful night in which they will discover the tenuous common ground they share. 100 Saints You Should Know is a compelling and heartbreaking journey in search for self in a discriminatory and alienating world. Playwright Kate Fodor is a recipient of the Kennedy Center's Roger L. Stevens Award, the Nation Theater Conference's Barrie Stavis Award, and a Joseph Jefferson Citation. 100 Saints You Should Know was originally produced off-Broadway in 2007 at Playwrights Horizons. Directed by Lindsay Allbaugh, this West Coast premiere opens May 27 and runs through July 16th at the Elephant Space.

"...engrossing, deeply moving...impeccable...inspired...100 Saints You Should Know is one of the very best plays and productions you are likely to see all year. Over the past few years, Elephant Theatre Company has gifted Los Angeles audiences with one unforgettable theatrical experience after another, including 7 Redneck Cheerleaders, Anything, Block Nine, Parasite Drag, Supernova, and Tooth And Nail (to name just half a dozen reviewed here). 100 Saints You Should Know can easily vie with any of the above for best ever and that is high praise indeed."
