Catherine Zardus encourages us toe invite the Parable Project to your school.
Catherine Zardus (Founder and Artistic Director of Magic Carpet Theatre) has produced, directed, and performed with MCT for over thirty years, which has reached over 250,000 people and traveled all over Michigan and from Alaska to Florida. In 2008, she founded the Drama Ministry, producing three original shows that promote the Gospel: The Parable Project, The Parable Project: Take Two, and At His Feet, Women in Scripture (along with an original CD). She studied theatre at Eastern Michigan and earned her MFA in Acting from Wayne State’s Hilberry Repertory Theatre, where she performed in scores of plays and was nominated twice for Best Supporting Actress in Detroit. She has performed in numerous regional theatres across the country and directed The Living Stations at the Cathedral of the Most Blessed Sacrament. She created a scene to honour Archbishop Vigneron at the Shrine of Jesus Divine Mercy’s Gala in 2022, The Wedding Feast at Cana, which will be included in the upcoming production of Surrender. In addition, Catherine leads the Preaching Boot Camp at Sacred Heart Major Seminary, is active as an intercessor, and has been blessed with a vocation as a wife and mother. She is a member of Divine Child Church, in Dearborn, where much of the inspiration for her original work was conceived. “Theatre is a powerful way to evangelize because people have an experience, which helps them encounter Christ.”
