This dramatic, one-man show starring Ted Swartz, combines scripture, story and humor. Ted is a theologian of a different sort. Both theater and seminary trained, he has found a unique and entertaining discovery; at the intersection of humor and biblical story is often a greater understanding of the text. Or, at the very least, a different understanding. It’s “comedic exegesis.” When we allow ourselves to laugh, we open up the possibility of experiencing God’s grace and accepting the truth of our lives more courageously.
A full show will include:
- Abraham receiving a new sign of the covenant with God.
- Aaron's frustrations with the limited menu while wandering in the desert--"It seems like Moses is making the stuff up as he goes along."
- Jeremiah and his tattered shorts--"I was never that popular anyway."
- Peter's amazement and bewilderment of this man Jesus--"Does everything have to be a teachable moment with this guy?"
- Paul's poignant description of his conversion.
- The book of Revelation seen through the eyes of a homeless man who discovers the book lying on the subway.
Full show length: 80 minutes (more or less)
