From the Director

Sister Gertrude Anne, CSC tells about a storm that occurred during the construction of the O’Laughlin Auditorium. At one point, while the frame was in place, the skeleton of the building consisted of large orange girder beams. Sister Gertrude describes the scene during a spectacular thunderstorm where she watched lightning electrify the beams. While she was a bit frightened, she marveled at the sight.

The Moreau Center has been the home for the arts at Saint Mary’s since 1956. Many gifted performers, artists, musicians and dancers have developed their craft and carried their talents beyond Saint Mary’s, to share their gift with others. The collective power of their creativity may have been the premonition that Sister Gertrude was blessed with in 1955.

The faculty, staff and students of the Moreau Center hope that you can find inspiration in the events we have planned for this 2007-2008 season. Watch carefully, you may see the spark of something great.

Sincerely,

Richard Baxter
