It's the biggest trial in Purgatory, and Judas is on the stand-surrounded by a Fellini-esque cast of character witnesses, from Satan to Sigmund Freud. Is he merely fallen or beyond forgiveness? In this far cry from any church pageant, you'll laugh out loud while you reassess one of the most reviled names in history. Check out photos from the show below!
I hope that by the end of our production, you feel that we've treated all of them with respect," says director David Belew, "While examining their very human shortcomings and scars. Because no matter what they've been through or who they are today, they deserve to live with hope."
