(BASKING RIDGE, NJ) -- The Sieminski Theater presents The God Box, A Daughter’s Story on Saturday, February 11, 2023, at 3:30pm hosted by Fellowship Foundation benefiting the Sieminski Theater Fund. The show is co-written and performed by Mary Lou Quinlan, author of the book that inspired the play, New York Times bestseller The God Box. It is the story of her remarkable discovery of her mother’s “God Boxes” filled with hundreds of private petitions on torn pages and Post-its written by the very hand that had slipped away.
The God Box, A Daughter’s Story, co-written and directed by Martha Wollner of NYC’s Labyrinth Theater Company, follows Quinlan on an emotional roller-coaster, as she struggles to come to terms with the death of her mother, ricocheting from grief to laughter to the greatest human challenge: learning to let go.
Mary Lou Quinlan, a charismatic storyteller, has performed the show in more than 100 venues around the US, including Off-Broadway, as well as the 2014 Edinburgh Festival Fringe where it earned five stars. Quinlan, a Philadelphia native, also took the show to three tours of Ireland and over eight years, The God Box Project has raised over $600,000 for hospice, cancer and educational charities.
