Before she was a saint, she was a woman. Based on the novel "Sister Teresa" by New York Times bestselling author Bárbara Mujica and developed at The Actors Studio in collaboration with the novelist, the world premiere of God's Gypsy by Coco Blignaut brings the dangerous and controversial life of Teresa of Ávila to life on stage. Directed by Joel Daavid, who also designs the set, and featuring original music composed and recorded by Lili Haydn, performances of God's Gypsy take place Nov. 30 through Jan. 12 at the Lillian Theatre. (Recommended for ages 14+ due to adult themes and mature content.) Check out a first look below!

God's Gypsy is a bold, sexy and humanizing portrait of the 16th century mystic who became one of the most controversial reformers of the Catholic Church. Spoiled with beauty and riches, Teresa was sent to a convent as a young girl to learn discipline, but instead discovered an unparalleled spiritual fervor. Adapted for the stage from Mujica's painstakingly researched novel "Sister Teresa," Teresa's days of youthful romance, secret Jewish ancestry, cloak-and-dagger political dealings during the Spanish Inquisition and fits of spiritual rapture unfold in a riveting account of sisterhood, faith, and the miracle of salvation through one woman's personal relationship with God.

Tickets to all performances are $30. The Lillian Theatre is located at 1076 Lillian Way, Hollywood, CA 90038 (1½ blocks west of Vine). For reservations and information, call (866) 811-4111 or go to www.godsgypsy.com.
