So in the meantime the next video chronological is the one featured today &#8211; a clip from \u00a0the 2018 Risen! The Musical Theatre in Education tour of Hampshire and West Sussex.<\/p>\n<p>Caroline Wetherelt, who played Mary mother of Jesus in Risen! had, at one time, performed with a travelling theatrical company delivering Pantomimes and workshops in Primary Schools. She remembered hearing words coming \u00a0from a classroom similar to those from Risen! ( perhaps an RE focused class) and suggested we could perform a Risen ! production with a script especially written for children. And that\u2019s what we did \u2013 my son James, who is a Primary School teacher, advised the content, Darren Bovis- Coulter of 2FishProductions designed a set based on Minecraft, Joffy Girling produced backing tracks and 6 actors from the Risen! The Musical \u00a0cast used an Airbnb in Chichester as their base for a 3 week tour of Primary Schools in Hampshire and West Sussex. They performed Risen! in the mornings and then ran musical theatre workshops in the afternoons.<\/p>\n<p>We reached 4000 children in 17 schools. Everything was brilliant apart from a lack of funds- the schools were not in a position to make much of a contribution towards costs \u2013 that\u2019s why, although a huge success, we have not been able to repeat a similar tour again.<\/p>\n<p>The amazing cast featured:<\/p>\n<p>Jesus &#8211; Max Panks<\/p>\n<p>Mary Magdalene &#8211; Caroline Wetherelt and Rebecca Davis<\/p>\n<p>Joanna &#8211; Katie Forge<\/p>\n<p>John\/Cleopas- Andrew Dovaston<\/p>\n<p>Peter\/Judas\/Thomas\/Cleopas friend- Mikey Wooster<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Quote of the week<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3768\" src=\"https:\/\/risen.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/Psalm145.4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"784\" height=\"1168\" srcset=\"https:\/\/risen.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/Psalm145.4.jpg 784w, https:\/\/risen.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/Psalm145.4-201x300.jpg 201w, https:\/\/risen.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/Psalm145.4-768x1144.jpg 768w, https:\/\/risen.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/Psalm145.4-624x930.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 784px) 100vw, 784px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Sorry, but at present I still cannot locate the film of the \u00a02015 Risen!
