before the Civil War New Orleans was

unique in all the world more French than

it was American race is freely mixed

creating a new class known as creels or

free people of color

European men were especially Enchanted

by the Exotic light-skinned women of

this class whose ancestors were the

children of Master and slave Spanish and

French

parties were thrown at the old Orleans

Ballroom where the Europeans would

select the young women pledge support

raise families with them yet never marry

one such liaison that between

Jean-Baptiste and Poupon de Lille

produced a daughter whose dreams would

change the old Orleans ballroom and her

world forever

hands it is God's will God knows

you're the Healer that it's all up to

you

it's Pride vanity

yet uh you blame yourself for your

mother's illness you broke her heart

this ridiculous law about covering or

braiding your hair it has no place

amongst family

I am not your family Samuel

I offended you in some way

I will take care of you as my family I

swear

but you're not married to Cecilia

you know it's only that the law forbids

it

have you presented my sister and your

child to your parents my parents are in

Europe I'm not close to my family here

you know that does it even know you have

a daughter any of them I cannot change

the way things are please

just

the way things are

this is Dr

Cecilia tells me that he will not be

taking care of me either oh I wasn't

asking that

I just thought

perhaps he has introduced you to his

parents

[Music]

perhaps when the time comes

awesome

I told Master if you touch it again he

best kill me

and leave Simone alone

she going home and on about hope

any white church selling hope is selling

lies Jacques come on Sunday

God's way is a mysterious sometimes but

if you open your heart and pray I

believe right

pray

Pray For What

for things to get better

I did that already

I guess your God must be having a joke

with me

he has a right to his anger perhaps we

can only heal his physical wounds

Simone's way too important

if I come on Sunday

will you sit with me

his wife would not approve and that

would be fantastic

life with you

will you do me the honor

of becoming my wife

married

yourself

keeps getting worse and all you do is

nip at the edges

[Music]

children children yeah

repeat okay

b c

Etienne why are these Lee workers

wearing habits

needy and simply chose to dress in a

uniform more practical for their work

the wardens want to put a stop to all

this work

these women are bringing this Parish to

life

we must refuse I have

for now

but it's rumored Rome will denounce

slavery

our position is precarious with the

Americans they want the school closed

they want you out

and

I see you've started an Infirmary

many of those we helped return to Mass

on Sunday

the church is filling up

with abandoned slaves

what they are doing is so clearly God's

work

and we may not be able to protect them

oh

oh so you can't give away your ball gown

that one more than more than the other

no I'll keep it

you've been speaking with Betsy about

Freedom you're giving away all your

clothes and next will be this Cottage

and where will that leave me and my

children there is no worry God will care

for us and Mama

we'll pray for her

everything Samuel left to the children

our children will be giving to his white

family

is that how God answers your prayers

after I have this baby

it would seem that I will have to attend

a ball

because I'll need to find someone to

take care of us

I hope I look as be witching as you were

when I wear green

[Music]

I came as soon as I heard it's bad

she came too soon

gonna die here in my arms and that'll be

the end of this

I give up on your God

customers

your people are so dedicated to making

us feel inferior

it's all day then

you poking me with staggers me hanging

my head

if a man insults me there is no question

of what I would do I would order my

pistols and meet them at Twin Oaks I

know how to be brave for that but these

is like walking in a fog there are no

boundaries

the look on their faces I wanted to hide

from it

only yet

I do not know how to be brave for this

I love you

sorry

we both have to learn

I'll depend on you for strength in it

perhaps uh we should spend some time

alone before we fight more ghosts oh but

I put my dress on and I I did my hair to

meet you my mom

she's expecting us for dinner

I am afraid

you did tell them

and they

they said

they would treat you with kindness

pity respect respect for you

estimates will turn at the side of me

then they'll wash their hands twice

before I'm gone cannot protect you from

that I don't want to be protected

I Want to Be Free of it

[Music]

you don't understand you can't

Gerard I do believe you love me

but you can't make me disappear into

your world

[Music]

please no let me take you back

oh yeah

didn't recognize you

I used to hear the Angels Sing

I can't hear them anymore

they're still here

I'll see you at the funeral

What funeral

you haven't heard them

I heard what Simone hemorrhaged in the

night

she never woke up

they found her baby sleeping peacefully

beside her

I heard what you did

I'm sure

it gave her peace

laughs

[Music]

is God so wrathful

suffering on top of suffering with no

lesson no reason I don't understand

father

I thought I prayed I still do not

understand

close your sister

draw on your faith

we're not meant to grasp everything at

once

I mean I need to know why I don't

understand he called you sister they all

do haven't you heard them you touch them

and so you become a sister of the Lord

I didn't ask for it no

you say God hasn't held the suffering

but he has

he gave them you

but I I can't do you remember the night

you came to him

you were abandoned and yet you know

where to come

you knew the solicit could bring others

what does God want for me

[Music]

thank you

you cannot give me a second chance

let's begin at the beginning

why were you at the ball that night

I was there looking for you Orient to be

a concubine no Gerard I want to be able

to believe you always

because every time I visit my mother and

see how she was destroyed because she

was loving a man from a different world

I am not your father I could not abandon

you

if I have to choose between you and my

world

my parents even

Choose You

can have a real life in France

a real marriage

become the happy

I will protect you

people will look at us and shake their

heads

and wish that they had married for love

[Music]

foreign

no I'm fine I'm fine we'll be fine you

just enjoy whatever time you have

together

ah to be loved

to let yourself be loved

to be touched so deeply Celie you told

me but how could I know

you might as well take some of these

dresses they don't fit me anymore

you have nothing to worry about

Gerard is promise to take care of you

and my mom

help you fight for your inheritance

Samuel wanted you to have

so lucky

you must write to write to the moment

you set foot in Paris

right

you'll visit

we expect you at the wedding

oh

not Gerard's gonna complain about my

rocks my books

[Music]

silly

oh yeah look what I have

it's Cecilia her fever is very high

they say creels don't get it but she got

it

isn't that break of yellow fever it can

affect anyone

my medical bag is here Gerard and

I know

I'm sorry

two

it would be nice to have a conversation

between us where one of us does not have

to say how sorry we are

it's kind of solution is very effective

in uh

[Music]

[Music]

you're gonna pray for me sister with all

my heart

I was silly the fever broke just an hour

ago the quantum exchange was um

I was trying something new the quinine

had little to do with it

but it was the medicine that saved her

how many times have you given medicine

to patients and lost them but without it

prayer saved her how can you believe

that because it's true

your sister is well I do not care why it

does not matter why this is wonderful

and we can begin to plan again

not yet do not turn your back on us

not now I'm supposed to be here

my my work is here we can do even more

in France we can work openly perhaps

build hospital and you would not be

accused of corrupting the slaves because

there are no slaves we can heal bodies

and Spirits I prayed for the answers

Gerard

I found out what God wants for me

God has been calling me for a long time

and I can't deny it

I feel God is working through me

foreign

an ordinary life

a life with me

we can't have it

and so now there is nothing for me

ear

we cannot even marry

what do you want from me

welcome thank you sister

these women are not sisters

you must not call them that

you deceive this Parish with those

costumes

I'm sorry but this time you'll have to

stop wearing them

I see the Virgin Mary but her skin is

brown

need to know that God is their God too

and we can't just tell them color needs

to be seen with their own eyes

God wants Black Faces working in his

church

they are forces against you

powerful people who can ruin everything

we've accomplished we need to go slow

oh he intended to be frightened into

submission

Marie

you're crying the bishop has just

banished me from the parish banished

I'm being sent up over to teach wealthy

children on a plantation apparently the

wardens have pointed out that it's

become illegal for integrated groups to

work together

and you knew about this

the bishop is forced to disband you so

he's decided to play on the side of the

Masters

they will also close the Parish Schools

since slave children are being taught in

the same room as white

I am next on their list

this has gotta stop

foreign

[Music]

as I see by your costume

obedience is not a virtue you put much

store by

please Your Excellence

just hear an idea

there's a house

my friends and I have just enough money

to buy it

with donations there's a building next

door that we can fix up and turn into a

mother house

you mean to build your own church now

complete with a convent

and we need you to bless the Endeavor

as there are no colored religious orders

I would be blessing only an act of your

pride

I've seen their faces those hungry Souls

that Worship in our church

you cannot say you're not moved do you

expect the Catholic Church of Louisiana

to challenge the state

to start a fire that could sweep away

what they've left of their freedom

but the reward would be greater than the

risk

even if I believed you should be nuns

can take years to receive Rome's

consideration and then the answer could

well be Noah I cannot see how I can help

you

perhaps you don't need to appear to be

helping us

this church serves a changing Community

wow that sounds positively threatening

I understand you have moved to block my

appointment of Father Russell onto the

cathedral

we will not continue to tolerate

interference in church business I

understand you filed a lawsuit against

us rather extreme reaction

I thought you should know I also am

connected with the courts down in the

Delta and I can assure you money will

win out in the end

and I can assure you the rape of a child

is considered a sin

even in the delta

there are no secrets in this Parish

baptized and a half-breed bastard child

outside the church

a warning the church should be above

reproach

especially one married to someone as

Pious as well why

but

as I said

the church is here to serve the whole

community

may I suggest instead we let them build

a place of Their Own

the coloreds

they'll never do it but we must let them

build it

and if they fail they fail on their own

terms

because if they don't there's no telling

what trouble they'll cause you're

excellent

remember

you're so thin

I thought you promised me that you would

eat and you

you look like a nun

[Music]

you should wear more color

green

it goes so well with your eyes

oh

how we danced at the ball

your papa never danced with another

woman after he walks with me

[Music]

[Music]

it's hard to imagine this as a Convent

at this rate it will take us years to

raise enough money to fix it up

we don't have years to waste

to Be an Effective order we need a place

to live an infirmary properly equipped a

school

what about your house

sell my house

well the cottage isn't mine to sell

Cecilia needs it to raise a family

my parents worked themselves to death to

leave that place to me

am I mad to consider giving all that up

in the name of God

I think your parents will be proud to

know their legacy is being used to serve

the community

Julie we need to sever all of our

attachments and Gerard

were you able to say goodbye so easily

goodbye

I thought you knew

he's going back to France free

within a month

[Music]

thank you

for what for coming

I wasn't sure he would

I've been offered a post at the hospital

in nice teaching Hospital quite

experimental you make a wonderful

teacher

oh yes

why am I here

not my reason

our church has run out of building funds

this is that the one I am to you no you

might as well have stayed at the boat

I apologize

and that was uncalled for

truth is I wanted to know whether you

still

always love you

my parents have cut me off

for refusing to marry this suitable

woman

they are found

a year ago I

might have

changed me

so

now we both work for the poor

alone

pop

Gerard I'm sorry sorry

is that why God made us twin souls

so we could be so on that

such beautiful hands

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

is it not illegal for blacks to

congregate yes it is

well something will have to be done

our first service

give me what the house is worth it

we may not be Nancy's yet but the bishop

will have to at the very least recognize

our dedication

um the bishop has arranged for you to

study as novices at St Michael's he

feels you need experience living in a

religious community

so the wardens got us out of their

church and the bishop he will petition

the Vatican upon your completion

in the meantime he has appointed me to

your church

he's a clever man

the parish is very lucky to have you

have you I'm only disappointed we're

suddenly so far from our goal

three

remember Sister Martha when we were in

school no cross no crown

we are going to see this through

until the pope himself invites us to

Rome and says You must be sister Julie I

have heard so much about you

[Laughter]

[Music]

[Music]

foreign

what are you doing

being a nun ah that sense of humor again

do you see the chapel I say it hasn't

been clean this week no we just finished

I'll return to inspect it

after dinner

shall we just cut your tongue out and be

over with it Julie what are we supposed

to learn here

how to keep a confidence spotless they

could be serving on the outside teaching

scrub scrub scrub scrub scrub scrub

would you like some help Reverend mother

Jesus washed the feet of his apostles

Superior

[Music]

oh Reverend mother I'm sorry

there's something with these flowers at

night it reminds me of my mother's

perfume

does it make you sad

and I was an office I was too proud to

admit my previous life still mattered

for me

the more I pretended the worse it felt

I worry that conquering my own pride is

impossible

that's what the scrubbing is for help

you sleep

did you love someone

I tried to forget

I try to stop why

do you think because you're becoming a

nun you stop being a woman

you must bring all of yourself to

service

it's your Humanity which will give you

compassion for those who most need to be

saved

Good Night Show
