TESTIMONIALS
"The play was brilliant, touching and professionally done. The stories were brought vividly and relatably to the present day without spoiling the zeitgeist. The timeless truth of Passover becomes clear to both young and old."
- Minna Schoemann, Pastor, Harvest Church Kouvola
“A magnificent and profound narrative of the passion of Jesus. A new and thought-provoking perspective."
- Ann-Maarit Joenperä, Mäntyharjun seurakunta
"Your performance was a great blessing and a wonderful production. People enjoyed it very much. You made the old, familiar Easter story fresh and vivid. It was well-adapted to the present day and formed an interesting whole. The songs supported the theme well and added a nice touch to the play. As actors, you were brilliant. You brought the stage and the entire production to life with minor costume changes and only slight adjustments to the sparse stage furnishings."
- Timo Koivisto, Pastor, Jyväskylän vapaaseurakunta
