Joan Chittister: Her Story, My Story, Our Story a play about the Benedictine nun – turned controversial spokesperson for international peace and social justice will be presented at St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church on Sunday, February 11, at 2:00.
The play introduces the audience to two women: Sr. Joan and the playwright herself. Bays has long been fascinated, and influenced, by Chittister, whom she calls “a prophet for our time. By ‘prophet’ I don’t mean a predictor of the future. I mean someone who offers a countercultural voice and says the things that are not easily heard. Sr. Joan charges all of us to ask questions and challenge each other.” Throughout the performance Bays speaks in both women’s voices, moving back and forth across the simple set, literally shifting between the perspectives of Sr. Joan, the public advocate for humanity, and herself, an everyday modern woman searching for her professional and spiritual place in the world.
Chittister has been interviewed by Bill Moyers, Timothy Russert, and Oprah Winfrey among others. She is the author more than 50 best-selling books, a regular blogger for the Huffington Post, and has appeared on 60 Minutes and Meet the Press.
The author and performer is Teri Bays. Bays is a singer, writer, and actor who received her Bachelor’s degree from the Hartt School of Music in CT and has performed leading roles in summer stock, off-Broadway musicals, and NYC cabarets.
Tickets are $20 general admission, $10 for students in advance. They can be purchased at brownpapertickets.com, or at St. Andrew’s between 10am-12:30pm weekdays. At the door they will be $25 and $12.50. Questions, call St. Andrew’s 828-282-4457.
When: February 11th

About Paula Cullison
Keynote Speaker
Paula (Giangreco) Cullison is a long time women’s rights, peace and social justice advocate.
As President of Women in Management (for then Mountain Bell / US West), she created a major project titled – The Year for All Arizona Women which featured over 100 events throughout the state and gained the support of Governor Bruce Babbitt, over 60 Mayors, Tribal Leaders, County and other officials.
Appointed by then Mayor Terry Goddard, she served on the Phoenix Women’s Commission for three years.
Paula presented at the United Nations Conference on Women in Kenya – How to Create A Year for ALL Women in your country or City. Prior to attending the UN Environmental Conference in Brazil, she created an event in Phoenix on Eco-Feminism: Polotics of the Environment which featured Bella Abzug, the late US Congresswoman from NY.
In the 1990s concerned about the lack of recognition of Women’s Rights Day (Aug 26th), she petitioned American Greetings to issue a free e-card which continues to be available. Gloria Feldt notes Paula’s tenacity in her book, No Excuses: 9 Ways Women Can Change How We Think About Power.
In 2002 she created The Arizona Women’s Partnership, an all volunteer philanthropic non-profit, to award grants to grass roots charities that assist under-served women and children at risk here in AZ. Over $380,000 has been awarded to date.
Three years ago, Paula created the 95th Anniversary of the 19th Amendment event which featured Mary Schroeder, Justice of the Ninth Appellate Court.
Paula, a long time ERA advocate, spoke at the recent rally at the Senate Capitol.
She has been at both Women’s Marches and a huge number of demonstrations.
She has traveled extensively and has been exhibiting her international photography, primarily at local college and university campus libraries. Paula hopes that these exhibits will encourage students and faculty to think globally.
Daughter of Italian immigrants and native New Yorker, Paula has lived in Phoenix since 1974. She is a graduate of City University of NY – Baruch College. Her AIESEC traineeship to Switzerland was sponsored by Columbia University.
Paula is the recipient of the Children and Family Resources Lifetime Achievement Award, Susan B Anthony Award, Macy*s Heart and Soul Award, National Bank of Arizona Amazing Woman Award.
