The Ignatian Anniversary Year

Love: "With greater love than fear"

Leaders face the world with a confident,
healthy sense of themselves as
endowed with talent, dignity, and the
potential to lead.
They find exactly these same attributes
in others and passionately
commit to honoring and unlocking the
potential they find in themselves and in
others. They create environments bound
and energized by loyalty, affection,
and
mutual support.

Chris Lowney, author of
Heroic Leadership

The Shape of Things
by Neil LaBute

asks, "What would you be willing to change for someone you love?" and "What price might you pay?" It probes our impulse to mold lovers into an ideal, rather than love someone simply for who they are. Bitingly comic and scathingly serious, the play explores love, sex, friendship and the very nature of ART itself. The New Yorker magazine has called Neil LaBute "an original voice - the best playwright to emerge in the past decade - a genius." "How far would you go for love?"...Decide for yourself, but not until the last word of the play is spoken. The answer may surprise you.
