"Merton and Me: A Living Trinity," a solo performance with Doug Hertler

Details

MERTON AND ME – A LIVING TRINITY
is an act of storytelling which explores the dynamics of the false self as seen through the eyes of an actor whose very vocation called him to become someone other than himself. Written and presented by Douglas Hertler (known professionally as Doug Lory), it depicts his unexpected and life-changing encounter with the writings of Thomas Merton, most notably Merton’s classic No Man Is An Island. While the conflicting personalities of
Douglas Hertler and Doug Lory struggle to understand the true nature of their respective identities, Thomas Merton appears and reappears , creating a synergy of spirit and psyche that serves as a mirror into the soul.

Doug holds a Bachelor of Arts in Speech/Communication/
Theatre from Monmouth University. He is a professional actor and Licensed NYC tour guide, as well as an actor/educator at Fordham University School of Law.
