THE LAST SUPPER CHRONICLES

MAP TO: Improv Playhouse Theater--735 N. Milwaukee Avenue, Libertyville, IL

 

"The Last Supper Chronicles" is a inspirationally, sometimes humorous, compelling, "contemporized" version of the last hour of The Last Supper which connects the 12 Disciples' reflections of experience with the "Teacher".  Dramatic, and some humorous, elements unfold as they compete for their "teacher's" attention and status within the group. Audiences have found that this piece has been one of most relatable and impactful drama experiences of their faith based journey.  And theater goers will be entertained in the thought provoking give-and-take of the actors.  Seekers have found the truths communicated through this play a significant experience influencing them closer to the reality of the historical, and ever present, Jesus of Nazareth.
