"Why Must He Die?" A Musical Passion Play

This is the final year of 28 years
in total TriCounty Choir Institute presenting "Why Must He
Die?"! 



It has been presented in 160
different schools, retirement homes, and 143 churches of all denominations.  This final year will mark the 416th
performance! 



It is written, directed and produced by Linda Wallace of Sewickley
Hills.  It is a meditation through music,
drama and liturgical dance on the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. This
is a unique passion play written as a play within a play.  Throughout the trial of Jesus by Pilate and
the Accusers, the action is repeatedly frozen. 
The disciples and apostles are then seen reflecting on Jesus’ life and
reacting to what led to Jesus’ impending death. 
They share their thoughts with the audience as if they too,
hypothetically, had been allowed to observe Jesus' trial.
