Every year, thousands of people flock to theaters to immerse themselves in the beauty and grandeur of musicals. These stories, set to music, draw us into the lives of their characters in a unique and powerful way—through song and dance that often lingers in our hearts long after the curtain falls.

Join us in exploring the timeless appeal of musical theatre and reflecting on what these stories can teach us about faith, morals, and our connection to God. Whether you’re attending for the first time or returning for another encore, you’ll enjoy a new lineup of musicals—each offering fresh insights and inspiration for the spiritual journey.

The Feast of Saint John Bosco
2026-01-31 00:00 - 23:59 | KS
St. John Bosco dedicated his life to the young, especially those overlooked or forgotten. Growing up in poverty himself, he understood the struggles of children on the margins. As a priest, he created schools, workshops, and welcoming communities where young people could grow in faith, learning, and joy. His approach was marked by kindness, patience, and trust rather than punishment. Don Bosco believed holiness was possible through everyday goodness and cheerful service. His legacy continues through the Salesian family, still committed to nurturing hope and opportunity for youth around the world.
