Description
Sister Marie Leon La Croix is a woman who has dedicated her life to making sure everyone has access to theater. She envisioned a wonderful, top notch Fine Arts Center that could offer various experiences to the residents of La Crosse. Starting with a dream, we got even more after Sister Marie was asked to start a Fine Arts Department at Viterbo University, which educates students and theatre patrons. When asked about which lessons teens could learn from her, Sister Marie responded, “If you have a dream, you can make it come true if you set high goals, love what you are doing with a passion, and don’t be discouraged by failures. Use your God given gifts to show and help others.” It is with this philosophy that Sister Marie Leon La Croix was able to create the theatre program at Viterbo University. View docudrama by Heather.
