Overview Ratings & Reviews

Based on the novel by the same name, The Collar: A Musical submerges you into the passions of a collared man in love. Father Christopher Joyce, a Catholic priest, struggles with his relationship with the two women in his life: Angela and Holy Mother Church. The lilting and magical score of master composer, Eric Funk adds drama and pathos to this play that deals with Father Christopher's dilemma. Includes full musical scores of each song.

The Story Behind This Book

As you are reading this, a storm of controversy swirls around the Catholic clergy, whose numbers include both saints and sinners. What guides the hands that can consecrate the Body of Christ and then defile the bodies of children? The paradoxes of the clergy -- puzzles that include flawed love and intimacy gone to Hell. Where does God walk in such a crowd? The Bible and catechism speak clearly about the black and white, but what about the gray? Where is God in the gray?
