The Jesus Story

 Roger Ezell, an ordained pastor and gifted actor, presents an abbreviated version of the good news of Jesus “according to Mark” from the New Revised Standard Version. Using different backgrounds—wastelands and grain fields, pasture lands and vineyards, lakes and streams, churches and government buildings— Ezell tells Mark’s story of Jesus from his baptism in the River Jordan to his crucifixion and resurrection in Jerusalem.

Have you ever heard Mark’s story of Jesus - Mark’s Good News - at one sitting? We usually hear Mark’s story in bits and pieces: Jesus healing a leper, telling a parable, being questioned by Pilate, crying out from the cross. But we never hear the whole story. And we never hear the story the way it was intended to be told. In the first century, the “Jesus story” was told in its entirety, and it was told verbally, not in writing. The use of diverse settings, plus an original music score, will change forever your “hearing” of Mark’s Good News.
