The striking one-act musical theatre piece, written
by Jody W. Lindh and Joe Cox, is not a "typical" youth musical.
First of all, its inspiration is taken from the liturgy of the mass. The
four sweeping movements portray the arrest of Jesus and Peter's denial
as a part of the "Kyrie" ("Lord, have mercy ...")
section; the celebration of shepherds and angels form the "Gloria"
("Glory to God in the highest") section; an enactment of the
vision of Isaiah in the temple forms the "Sanctus" ("Holy,
Holy, Holy") section, ending in an exuberant and rhythmic "Hosanna";
and finally, the trial of Jesus by Pilate and the crucifixion bring us
the "Agnus Dei" ("O Lamb of God"). The one-hour presentation
is a fully theatrical interpretation of the various texts stemming from
the mass, complete with synchronized visuals, exciting choreography and
engaging music.
