The Living DaVinci

”The Living DaVinci”

Thursday, April 13,  7-8:30 p.m. 

Leonardo DaVinci’s famous painting of “The Last Supper” comes to life, as each of Jesus’ twelve apostles enters the scene and tells his story. One-by-one, each takes his place at the table as DaVinci’s painting depicts. After Judas Iscariot has spoken, the stage darkens. When the lights come up, the actors are frozen, posed just as DaVinci portrayed them. It’s a breathtaking experience.
