Dante 360

"I was sitting one day in our Historic Main Stage looking up at the top of the proscenium arch, where Dante and Beatrice, as depicted in the Divine Comedy, are on full display.  Immediately it it occurred to me that we needed to bring Dante Alighieri's work to the world. The Italian Redemptorists brought him center stage when constructing the theatre in 1911 and it was now our turn to continue with that legacy, as a patron to our beloved Center. November is a significant time for Catholics to remember those who came before us and this November we celebrate 112 years of our historical building and three years of our organization's founding. We hope you join us on a journey through this epic tale." - Lawrence Daufenbach, show creator and executive director of the Athenaeum Center for Thought & Culture.
