Schoolhouse Theatre Live Presents Martha Clarke’s Canticle in North Salem before it opens at La Mama in NYC

Here’s your chance to see CANTICLE (God’s Fool), by the world-renowned Martha Clarke before it moves to Off-Broadway’s legendary theater La Mama. It is also the first production of the beloved Schoolhouse Theater (Westchester’s oldest professional theatrical venue) since Covid. Presented at the beautiful Hammond Museum and Japanese Stroll Garden, it is the first public performance of MacArthur Genius Award Winner Martha Clarke’s story about the mystic Saint Francis of Assisi, whose extraordinary rejection of wealth, animus against cruelty and ethereal love of all animals is a parable that speaks deeply to our time.
