There will a special Good Friday performance of “The Living Last Words,” a dramatic musical experience commemorating the seven last words of Christ, written by Ruth Elaine Schram, with music direction by Maureen Leonard, and stage direction by Susan Boulanger.

This free performance will be March 25 at 6pm at St. Theresa Catholic Church, 1041 Lyons Ave., South Lake Tahoe.

In this dramatic work, choral music combines with dramatic monologues as Schram imagines the responses of those who were present at the cross as Jesus died. Characters such as a contemptuous soldier; the crucified thief’s sympathetic sister; a scornful priest; the anguished shepherd; the heartbroken disciple searching for answers; and Mary, the grieving mother of Jesus, share how they are impacted by Jesus and the last words he spoke on the cross.

The actors include parish and community members, and members of the Lake Tahoe Community College Theater Department.  The cast includes Kurt Munger, Thomas Lopez, Ryan Adams, Frank Dixon, Joanie San Agustin, Sharon Kerrigan, and Scott Blumenthal. They are joined by the St. Theresa Choir and soloists Angie Guitierrez, Alejandra Quirarte, and Carmen Mieras.
