Executive Artistic Director’s Note

The passion story is precious to us Christians--so much so that our entire faith is centered on it.  As Paul said in his first letter to the Corinthians, "If there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised.  And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is our faith."  Minneapolis based playwright and Christ-follower, Jeremiah Gamble, with musical contributions from his wife, Vanessa, have written a stunning dramatic account of the final days and resurrection of Jesus, told through the eyes of his betrayer, Judas.  Gamble posits that Judas, whom many historians and theologians regard as a zealot, had very different expectations of whom Messiah would be and what Messiah would do to the occupying Roman empire--namely destroy it.  In the final moments of this powerful play with music, Judas' recognition of his folly is both heartbreaking and telling.  We are thrilled to present this stunning piece of theatre to edify our audiences and share the gospel with a world that desperately needs to hear it.  

Theatre is an art form that from its inception has had the proven power to move and to stir the human spirit. This can have a wide variety of manifestations. We are often stirred up, and that kind of event can have us needing to talk to someone about it. We recommend that you find a licensed mental healthcare professional to help you work through difficult feelings that may have been stirred up by a play. You should always work with someone that you have a great connection with. If you need help starting that process, we recommend our partners at Ellie Mental Health as a starting place.

You might also be stirred to do something about how a particular play made you feel. Below we have provided a quick link to be able to donate to us here at the A. D. Players at the George Theatre. As a 501(c)3, we rely heavily on donations to continue the work that we do. If, however, you want to do something meaningful about some of the issues addressed by our shows, we are also including links to organizations that do meaningful work in the areas addressed by the content of our show. These are not exhaustive options, but merely starting places to help you on your journey to continue to effect change in your world.
