So we at Mustard Seed Songs have been working hard at producing a 20 minute \u201cShowreel\u201d for Acts The Musical. We realised that it could be sometime before we could finance the recording of the whole 2-hour Show or indeed film it \u2013 so instead we have focused on giving people a\u201d feel\u201d of what is to come by producing this 20 minute \u201cShowreel.\u201d
\nWe have chosen excerpts that we hope will demonstrate the flavour and variety of the Show plus give an idea of how Acts \u2013 The Musical works on two levels 1) telling the story of how the Gospel message was spread as chronicled in the Acts of the Apostles. 2) Using Theophilus, who was probably Luke\u2019s sponsor, as a person on a faith journey, symbolic of someone in the audience.
\nWe have been so fortunate in having two West End actors \u2013 Alex Knox and Edward Duly- Baker to play the roles of Luke and Theophilus.
\nSo, this week it is the introduction:
\nLuke: – Acts 1: 1- 11
\nTheophilus- Theophilus- – it is your humble servant Luke,
\nTheophilus:
\nLuke, my dear friend- it\u2019s been too long – writer of such a wonderful book
\nJesus crucified – then risen alive
\nFor forty days appearing as hundreds testified
\nTheophilus and Luke
\nAscended – ascended to heaven
\nAngels proclaiming, He would return.
\nHe would return again
\nLuke:
\nMost excellent Theophilus may I be so bold
\nThere is now so much more of the story to be told
\nThe church has been born – I\u2019ve witnessed it all
\nHow the Gospel has spread allow me to recall
\nTheophilus –
\nLuke, I don\u2019t know how to tell you this – I do believe but I just need help with my unbelief.
\nLuke:
\nHaving a relationship with Jesus is a journey on which we are all at different stages. Please allow me to be your guide \u2013 let me share with you the Acts of the Apostles
\nQuote the week
\nThe best thing about the future is that it comes only one day at a time.
