This fun and interactive presentation will provide the audience not only with historical and factual data about Father Serra, but will provide an introspective look into Father Serra, the man...his life, his personality, his humor and his humanity. The costumes are authentic and the script is taken from the wealth of lore available about Father Serra in the libraries of the Missions themselves.
Mr. Buonauro has visited most of these Missions, and studied at length in
their libraries, and has been entrusted with documents and manuscripts
unavailable to the general public by the Brothers of the Missions. He appears
regularly as Father Serra at historical presentations at San Gabriel, San Luis
Rey, San Diego, San Francisco, Oceanside, Santa Barbara Missions, both San
Franciso and Santa Barbara presidios, as well as Carmel and San Luis Obispo.
He is a regular part of the educational programs for Mission San Juan Capistrano,
and visits with thousands of school age children each year through the venue
of the Adventures in Education Program at Knott's Berry Farm.
