Join Fellowship Village for an Author Series Event to benefit Fellowship Foundation.

Bring a loved one, a family member, a sister, a daughter, a friend or mentor. This family event is open to the general public.

A beautiful and profoundly human book. The God Box tells the story of an unbreakable bond between a mother and daughter, and about the lifelong lessons our parents bless us with.

In this engaging one woman, one act play based on her New York Times bestselling book, Mary Lou Quinlan’s beloved mother, Mary Finlayson, dies, her family is left bereft—until Quinlan finds her mother’s “God Box,” This simple container is stuffed with tiny notes written by Mary, asking and praying for everything from the right flooring for her daughter’s new home to a cure for her own blood cancer.

Mary’s petitions are presented with love and without expectation. Note by note, Quinlan unearths insights into her mother’s compassion, faith, and perseverance, and revelations of her innermost thoughts—nostalgic, surprising, and even a bit shocking.

The production features the work of some of New York theater’s best and brightest sound, lighting and visual designers. After a sold out Off-Broadway run at 59E 59 Theater, the show rocked 24 performances at the prestigious Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2014 at Assembly Roxy theater where it earned rave four and five star reviews. Best honor of all? The God Box Project has helped communities along the way, raising over $400,000 for cancer, hospice, education, family and community causes.

Audiences from around the US and the world have fallen in love with this solo performance. “Indelibly etched on my soul–so incredibly honest, heart-opening, poignant, funny…unforgettable!” “‘The God Box’ shines bright light on the quiet heroism of caregivers with humor and grace.” “A great way for mothers and daughters to bond…for anyone who holds their loved ones dear.” And as one audience member wrote “I was a hot mess…laughing, sobbing, fantastic.”
