July 17-21, 2013 – The Witnesses 

TheWitnessesDanny Hamilton and Gary Richardson return for one week only with Part 2 of The Rock & The Rabbi Trilogy.  Through the eyes of Peter and Paul, THE WITNESSES follows an adventure that began in Jerusalem, where a small group of disciples empowered by the Holy Spirit, traveled across the Roman empire, preaching, teaching and healing.  Wherever God sent them, lives and history were changed.  This is an inspiring account of the rapid spread of Christianity throughout the work and the wonders of life in the first century.  Portrayed with masterful storytelling, THE WITNESSES also features talented signers and musicians playing acoustic and percussion instruments – from guitars, accordions and cello to African and Irish drums.  This exciting 90 minutes musical is compelling theatre for the whole family.
