This is a unique passion play using a play within a play. Throughout the trial of Jesus by Pilate and the Accusers, the action is repeatedly frozen while the disciples and apostles reflect on the life of Jesus and react to the events leading to His Death. They share their thoughts with the audience as if they were observing the trial. Written and directed by Sewickley Hills resident Linda Wallace, "Why Must He Die?" has been presented in over 100 churches and schools over the last 18 years. A good will offering will be taken. ******************** St. Vincent Guest Speaker Dr. Carl Hasselman of Oakmont will present his inspirational lecture, "The Passion and Death of Christ: An Analysis of the Shroud of Turin From a Medical Perspective" on Sunday, March 21st.
