Messengers

Rehearsals are in full swing. This season we're doing a brand-new production from the book of John. The title is "Light and its Effect on the Beast", the beast being us as sinful human beings.

We've been rehearsing every Thur and Fri night since Aug 1, and while it's still a bit rough around the edges the finished product will be spectacular. The basic plot is there's a woman who's not convinced that Jesus is God, the one and only. So throughout the course of the play, the cast enacts a series of stories from the book of John (the woman at the well of Samaria, Jesus healing the blind beggar, raising Lazarus from the dead). I've seen it so many times by now that you'd think I wouldn't be paying much attention anymore, but every rehearsal I catch a new phrase that renews my interest.

So far we have five performance dates, two at our Downtown campus (Minneapolis), two at the North Site (Mounds View), and one at Park Ave Methodist (Minneapolis). The first performance isn't until Oct 10, so we've still got some time.
