In a world in which some believe you can't be born without having sinned, it's almost better to be guilty and have had some fun than suffer from the boredom offered by sainthood. The Hunger Artists' 15th-season opening play, The Cantor's Tale, tells the story of Father Prue Dimms, a clergyman so angered by his student's plan to leave the seminary to indulge in the joys of sinning and marry the woman he loves that he will stop at nothing to break the engagement. Witness the world-premiere production, written by local playwright Fengar Gael, and forget your Catholic guilt at the door.
Fridays, Saturdays, 8 p.m.; Sundays, 7 p.m. Starts: Jan. 7. Continues through Jan. 30, 2011
