Patrick Henry College Performs John, His Story

EDEN TROUPE PRESENTS JOHN, HIS STORY BY JEANNETTE CLIFT GEORGE

PURCELLVILLE, VA—Come experience the timeless story of the gospel of John in Patrick Henry College’s latest production of John, His Story, running from February 12-15 at Patrick Henry College’s Townhall.

This show is a unique retelling of the miracles described in the fourth Gospel. While the cast is comprised of only six actors, more than 30 different characters are brought to life over the course of the production. This show has been produced in a minimalist style, inviting the audience to connect with the story in a new and meaningful way.

“For those who are familiar with the gospel story, we want this production to be a new and refreshing look at the life of Christ and his sacrifice,” director Jason Long said. “For those who have no experience with this timeless story, we want this play to show the truth that perhaps they have never seen before.”

The story reminds people that life is precious and that in a world filled with suffering and pain, there is always hope and light. “It is a puzzle. You get to see all the pieces of the story come together to form one grand narrative, giving us hope to fight though the struggles that we all face,” continues Jason Long.

DATE and TIME: Performance times are Thursday, February 12 at 7pm; Saturday, February 14 at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m.; and Sunday, February 15 at 7 p.m.

LOCATION: Patrick Henry College’s Townhall is located at 10 Patrick Henry Circle, Purcellville, VA, 20132. Free parking will be provided.
