PAUL at the Greenbelt Arts Center , Greenbelt , MD. 8 PM May 14. A Seventh Street Playhouse staged reading. Written by Anthony E. Gallo –With Ancient Jewish Music May 14, 8 PM $5.
The play examines the complex and contradictory life of Christianity’s second leading theological architect through his Epistles, from Romans to Titus, and the writings of Josephus. Paul’s impact not only on the now two billion Christians around the world but tangentially on non-Christians as well is not disputed. The play follows him from being a deeply religious Jewish leader, successful businessman, civic leader, and persecutor of fringe cults to becoming an apostle of the Nazarean following his epiphany on the road to Damascus . The narrative traces his conflicts with members of the new cult, then with his fellow disciples, the Romans, Greeks, Jewish leaders, his own family and friends, and the people he tries to convince. It asks if Paul’s spiritual conversion also resulted in personal character conversion. Located In The Historic Greenbelt Arts Center -The Nation’s First Shopping Center-1937. Greenbelt Arts Center 123 Centerway. Greenbelt , Maryland Directions and Reservations: 301-441-8770.
