Photo Flash: THE KID WHO WOULD BE POPE Gets Reading at Ars Nova

It's the 1960s, and Billy McPherson, the new kid at parochial school, is getting a fine medieval education. When the beguiling young drama teacher, Sister Katherine, sweeps into his life, he falls head-over-heels in love, resolving to become pope and to change the rules of the Church so that they can one day marry. A charming, funny new musical about first love, obsession and the search for miracles.
