For those of you who take your Lenten Seasons seriously (as do I), the Xavier Company is about to embark on a tri-state tour of "No Greater Love: A Passion Play for the Lenten Season". According to the flier, it is "a vibrant musical drama that celebrates the passion, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ".
I haven't seen it, but best-bud the Peter Proctor is playing Jesus and my much-adored Abigail Taylor is also in the cast which includes Nikki Casserli-Healy, Lena Cigleris, Marvin Joshua, Marian Lizzio and Michael Santora. I don't really know Michael yet, but his voice is gorgeous.
It was written by Janeen Stevens and is directed by Carol Ferrone with music direction by Gerard DeMan, Jr. Several performances occur over the coming weeks. This Friday evening the piece will play it's sole Manhattan engagement at St. Francis Xavier Church, 46 West 16th. Admission is free, but I suppose there is probably an offering.
