Music included excerpts from the 46th Street Mass by Darryl Curry, Musical Director
and the St. Clement's Choir.

In 1963, St. Clement's Church, under the leadership of Father Sidney Lanier in collaboration with the American Place Theatre, reconfigured its sanctuary into the 161-seat off-Broadway Theatre @ St. Clement's that is known today throughout the theatre community as one of the longest-running off-Broadway houses in New York City. In addition, Mr. Curry's renowned 46th Street Mass was commissioned by Mother Barbara Crafton, former Rector of St. Clement's.
