ABOUT

What does it mean that there is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friend? When thinking of the crucifixion it can be hard to resonate with Jesus because there is a tendency to forget that while Jesus was God he was also man. This means while he may have understood what was to come he still experienced joy, sorrow, anxiety, betrayal, and even doubt. He was still living the human experience. No Greater Love: The Musical takes a modern perspective of the Passion Story to highlight how Jesus navigated his journey to the cross along with insights from those that walked with him, betrayed him, denied him, supported him, or screamed to crucify him. It is our hope that this story challenges you, inspires you, and leaves you reflecting on ways you are connected to love through how you choose to wield it.

PRAISE

“I was really touched by this performance”

“Like we all KNOW this story, but not this version. A must see”

“My whole family was moved to tears”

“I’m not really into musicals or anything like that…but this show had me in tears”

“The music was just beautiful”
