At the center of the controversy is an 11 year old boy, Will, who seems to be channelling the medieval Saint Julian of Norwich. With an investigation into Will\u2019s link to the divine, led by Father Peter Andrews, the circumstances are examined and found wanting, yet miraculous. <i>CandleDancing<\/i> captures the essence of medieval theology within a modern scenario. An honest play for university or community players. <i>CandleDancing<\/i> seeks to understand the gift of love, in temperance and eternity. If we can learn to transform ourselves so that we may look without judgment, see without doubt, and love without condition; then we can live fully, feeding on the fruits of the garden, splendor, beauty, and peace.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>This play is temporarily ON HOLD and not available for public performance.

PETER ANDREWS:<\/b> Benedictine monk, in his mid forties, who acts as music minister of the East Abbey. He has a fascination for ancient art history and literature, with emphasis on the origin of language. Father Peter is quite charismatic and strongly attractive yet not typically masculine; his resolute character would be to be found in a determined woman.<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\"><b>WILL:<\/b> As the central figure, Will is the young street urchin who appeared unexpectedly on the doorstep of East Abbey. He is thin, blonde, with pale skin and blue eyes. The boy, responding peculiarly to the flame of a particular candle, proves to have quite an enchanting voice and a flair for writing. Will, who is later the mouthpiece for Julian of Norwich, should be played by a lyric soprano to attain the very luminous vocal quality.<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\"><b>SISTER MARY KATHARINE DUNN:<\/b> Affectionately known as SISTER KATE, she teaches art, music, and social studies at the East Abbey. Though she has only been there a few years, Sr. Kate has grown an intense attachment to Fr. Peter and sees him as a vehicle to achieve her professional goals. Her plans to save humanity through art preoccupy her life so much that she often steps on people on her climb to accomplish the greater good. Her brawny, masculine, physique has advanced her appearance well beyond her years.<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\"><b>MOTHER MARY AGNES PARLASKY:<\/b> Mother superior at the East Abbey. She is in her late forties yet looks much younger. She&#8217;s genteel though she appreciates the value of discipline and obedience. Mother Mary Agnes is sympathetic to Fr. Peter and cherishes their life-long friendship. Yet her &#8220;duty&#8221; to God means more to her than anything or anyone in this world.<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\"><b>ANNA VALKO:<\/b> An obsequious young woman who runs the East Abbey cafeteria by day and the laundry by night. She is considering becoming a novice.<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\"><b>CARDINAL ROLAND:<\/b> The district official of the diocese where the East Abbey is located.<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\"><b>JONATHAN<\/b> and <b>DAVID:<\/b> Choirboys at the Abbey.<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\"><b>CARDINAL SANTORI:<\/b> Second Seat for the Tribunal.<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\"><b>CARDINAL BONATELLI: <\/b>Third Seat for the Tribunal.<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\"><b>FR.

Koepfinger has a mission here that&#8217;s clear and sincere. The playwright&#8217;s strength is the passion of her dialogue.\u201d <b><i>Pittsburgh Post-Gazette<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201c<\/span>The power of life to lift and transform us is so easily and so often obscured by our own power and politics. In choosing not to look, not to see, not to participate in life, the warm and beautiful light of even a single candle dancing against our darkness can be ignored or dismissed as distracting, unimportant, or irrelevant. But Truth eventually and inevitably wins. Climbing \u201cup the mountain of enlightenment\u201d takes the temerity of a Mother Agnes, the perspicacity of a Sister Kate, the purity and inspiration of our own Will.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>In <i>CandleDancing<\/i>, Coni Koepfinger invites us to center ourselves in all of these personal aspects, all of these parts of our own psyche, soul, and spirit. She weaves a medieval myth that allows us to envision \u201cspiritual horizons\u201d knowing that the garment she made will, like a baptismal garment, cover the \u201cnew person,\u201d the one reborn into higher consciousness. May you be enlightened by this tale and choose to be the <i>CandleDancing<\/i>.\u201d \u2014 <b>Stephen Steinbeiser, Duquesne University<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>Named Best Score 1999<\/strong>\u2014Robert Hugill&#8217;s score for CandleDancing at Veronica&#8217;s Veil Players by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">&#8220;<b>Koepfinger provides a new Dance to the world! &#8212; <\/b>Candledancing by Ms. Koepfinger provides the reader with the tension of a murder mystery, but also with delicious characters who share the life of the Church that few authors have given us. In the character of the protagonist, Fr. Peter, the reader is allowed to enter deeply into the struggle of good versus evil; truth versus self preservation. The story keeps one&#8217;s attention and interest throughout. The story also exposes the American reader to the great English mystic, Julian of Norwich as the strong gentle presence intricate to the story.Candledancing allows one to journey through some life core principles while spell binding the reader to a mysterious and well written play. Well worth more than it&#8217;s reasonable price. A great weekend curl-up-in-the-chair read! &#8212; <strong>Dennis Martin, Amazon<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">&#8220;<b>Candledancing is absolutely brilliant &#8212; <\/b>The suspense starts on the first page as the playwright tells this story about God, religion, and prophets. Although a play, I felt like I was reading a novel. It is brilliantly visual and auditory &#8211; I could hear the chanting as if the actors were in the room with me. I could see the candle dancing. This story made me question &#8220;who has the right to declare that someone is (or is not) from God?&#8221; Absolutely brilliant! &#8212; <strong>Diana Rudoy, Amazon<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<b>Powerful Drama &#8212; <\/b>There are so many powerful themes in this play, one of which is the power of the Word to control, manipulate or even free people. A character in the play asserts that words have an editor and the editor has a paycheck! I loved that. Puts a lot into perspective. Made me think about how all the institutions have used words to their advantage. The theme of the use of religion versus spirituality is portrayed with the mysterious character of Julian of Norwich who brings events to a beautiful climax! Ms. Koepfinger brilliantly confronts these themes in an entertaining format.&#8211; <strong>Delia Katherine Rakoczy, Amazon<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><strong>PERUSAL MATERIALS:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>CLICK THE TILE BELOW for the Perusal Pages File<\/strong> <b>\u00a0<\/b>(The PDF file contains the first\u00a0 act of the\u00a0 play.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/leicesterbaytheatricals.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Candle-Dancing-PERUSAL-SCRIPT.pdf\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-18790\" src=\"https:\/\/leicesterbaytheatricals.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Perusal-Script-300x94.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"217\" height=\"68\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>AUDIO DEMOS made from the Finale Music Notation files of 3 of the 8 musical numbers in the show<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-playlist wp-audio-playlist wp-playlist-light\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-playlist-current-item\"><\/div>\n\t\t<audio controls=\"controls\" preload=\"none\" width=\"618\"\n\t\t\t><\/audio>\n\t<div class=\"wp-playlist-next\"><\/div>\n\t<div class=\"wp-playlist-prev\"><\/div>\n\t<noscript>\n\t<ol>\n\t\t<li><a href='https:\/\/leicesterbaytheatricals.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/ii.4-1-Requiem.mp3'>ii.4-1 Requiem<\/a><\/li><li><a href='https:\/\/leicesterbaytheatricals.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/ii.4-2-Kyrie.mp3'>ii.4-2 Kyrie<\/a><\/li><li><a href='https:\/\/leicesterbaytheatricals.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/ii.4-3-Wills-Dance.mp3'>ii.4-3 Wills Dance<\/a><\/li>\t<\/ol>\n\t<\/noscript>\n\t<script type=\"application\/json\" class=\"wp-playlist-script\">{\"type\":\"audio\",\"tracklist\":true,\"tracknumbers\":true,\"images\":true,\"artists\":true,\"tracks\":[{\"src\":\"https:\/\/leicesterbaytheatricals.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/ii.4-1-Requiem.mp3\",\"type\":\"audio\/mpeg\",\"title\":\"ii.4-1 Requiem\",\"caption\":\"\",\"description\":\"\\\"ii.4-1 Requiem\\\" from Candle Dancing Score DEMOS by Hugill, Robert.
