Saint Joan of Arc remains a fascinating figure, symbolic of idealism and faith in the face of battle and religious doubt. 

Her enduring legend has been told and retold by innumerable writers and presented by countless actors on celluloid and stage. Joan of Arc, Vision Across the Fire, written by local playwright John Morrow, is a unique interpretation of the story of the girl warrior who led her troops to victory and was martyred at the stake. This one-woman show stars Arleta Jeziorska. Peter Ross provides the music on bamboo flute. In case of rain, the play will be performed the following night. The performance is in Spanish.
