He Is

This show is a modern rendition of the traditional Easter story, highlighting events surrounding Jesus’ last days. From the time he arrives in Galilee to his arrest, death and resurrection, the audience will be captivated by this biblical retelling. The story is set in present day and includes D12, his street-smart gang of disciples, a young group of zealous followers who later turn on him, and the Pharisees and Sadducees dressed in priestly garments and big church hats, who plot to end Jesus’ fame. Using dramatic monologues, comedic lines, heartfelt songs and praise dances, this story will resonate with both traditional and contemporary audiences. The imagery depicting the horrific death of Jesus will come to life, and in the final scene you will be reminded of His life's purpose and the charge given to us through the Holy Spirit. The audience (congregation) knowing the Holy Spirit has come, will feel compelled to draw near to God and step into their calling. Run time: 65-70 minutes.
