All are welcome. ******************** PASSION PLAY "Why Must He Die?" presented by Tri-county Choir Institute's Teen Chorale Sunday, March 7, 2010 2:00 PM at St. Irenaeus Church "Why Must He Die?" is a 75-minute meditation through music, drama, and liturgical dance on the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. 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. |
