RATH PART FOUR: SISTER MARY RATH
(For those of you just joining the thread, or may have missed the earlier installments, PART 1 of Rath's story is on page 41, PART 2 is on page 43, PART 3 is on page 51.)
After the debacle with her first solo producing venture, the ambitious Musical Theater Repertory Company, Rath found herself broke, alone and contemplating a life much like the one she had been born into. However, after a fortuitous meeting with Mother Mary Monk, the mother superior of the Convent of the Lebanese Sisters of Perpetual Adoration, Rath discovered her long dormant spirituality and decided to join her “sisters” at the convent.
For nearly five years, Rath lived in contemplative heaven with her Lebanese sisters: Mother Mary Monk, Sister Mary Richards, Sister Mary Martin, and Sister Mary Poppins. Sister Mary Rath, as she was now known, had never fully explored her spiritual side nor fully embraced her Lebanese heritage while she was in the secular world, but at the convent she got in touch with herself in ways she had never even dreamed about. Her favorite part of every day was her private prayer session with Mother Monk, known as Legs to Heaven Time (well, in Rath’s case it was LEG to Heaven; that baking accident was really horrible.)
But on her 30th birthday, Sister Mary Rath’s calm little world was shattered by a coup in the convent. Sister Mary Poppins flew into a rage and deposed Mother Monk, a move which sent shock waves through the small Lebanese community. Sister Mary Rath was particularly shaken, although Mother Monk took it in her stride. “The Convent world? Eh, It’s a business” she shrugged. At the mention of the word “business,” Sister Mary Rath, for the first time in five years, thought about her previous life in show business and began to contemplate a return to that world. In a long discussion with the newly demoted Sister Mary Monk, (they still kept to their private prayer time) they jointly decided to leave the convent and revive Rath’s long dormant career. But from a different angle this time: Sister Mary Monk had always harbored dreams of becoming a performer, so Rath was going to put all her energies into making Monk A STAR. Monk was going to leave that convent a blowsy, aging, former Mother Superior, but she was going to become A STAR. And Rath was just the person to make that dream come true.

Jaily, you can't trust Whitney. She never smoked enough.
