I started the theatre project that we're now calling "Worde" in the summer of 2010. Two scenes were performed at Saint Mary's College in the spring of 2011, and now, in the winter of 2012, it's all coming to fruition.
This play is an homage to the religious origin of Western theatre. The seven scenes are based on the Corpus Christi cycle plays of medieval Europe. They are simple and poetic, and each one contains a strong moral message (or two). The story is a profile of Jesus Christ and his disciples, and the play is a study of how Christ consciousness permeates Modern social and economic systems in the USA and abroad.
This is my project for 2012. The first draft of the text is almost complete, and workshops will begin around the East Bay at the end of January and the beginning of February.
My goal is to have it ready for production by Easter, with an updated draft ready for production by Christmas.
Stay tuned, neighbors. This one will be performed in our own street.
