New York, NY - ALL OUR CHILDREN, a play by Stephen Unwin, speaks to the conscience of our culture with a resounding lesson from the not-too-distant past. Based on historical events, the play recounts the story of Victor Franz (played by Karl Kenzler), a doctor who ran a clinic for disabled children in Germany during the Second World War; and Bishop Clemens von Galen (played by John Glover), whose courageous opposition to Franz’s genocidal agenda ultimately resulted in the closing of the Nazi death clinics for the disabled. The Sheen Center for Thought & Culture brings to the stage a work of art, highlighting the dignity of human life and the courage that is called for at those critical moments in history when humanity seeks to normalize injustice. After a critically-acclaimed run in London’s West End, ALL OUR CHILDREN will make its American premiere at The Sheen Center on April 14, 2019. Previews started on April 6.

His Eminence, Cardinal Timothy M. Dolan, has announced the formation of a search committee to begin the process of naming a new Superintendent of Catholic Schools for the Archdiocese of New York.
