A Note From the Director

At the beginning of the play we find ourselves in an abandoned warehouse with nine individuals who have made this place their home. They have landed together against an uncaring world. Within this group we observe a great deal of conflict and violence. These nine have forgoten how to love. Then jesus arrives, and he offers them peace. THrough his parables he shows the disciples new possibilities, he offers them an alternative to their violent lifestyle. He brings them together through his continued kindness and understanding, and ultimately they learn to embrace and to embody Jesus' message of peace. Enjoy!
