Adults $10, EMU student ID $5, 12 and under, free. <a href=\"https:\/\/emu.edu\/homecoming\/schedule\">To purchase tickets, click here<\/a>.<\/h5>\n<p>The work is &#8220;a kinetic and reverent retelling of the Gospels that takes as its inspiration the Baroque art of Rembrandt and Caravaggio,&#8221; according to Poole.<\/p>\n<p>It was commissioned in 2015 by Asbury\u2019s<a href=\"http:\/\/www.asburyumc.cc\/sacredarts\"> Sacred Arts Series<\/a> and first debuted in February 2016.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Gospels still have the potential to challenge and surprise,&#8221; said Poole. &#8220;Showcasing these stories through a blend of sculptural poses, atmospheric lighting, and mood-setting music allows audiences to experience the life of Jesus with fresh eyes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Poole says the performance will appeal to &#8220;believers and doubters, church goers and non-churchgoers, theater enthusiasts and non-theater enthusiasts &#8230; I think what really comes through in this production is the humanity of Christ.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Clemens performs on a variety of string, wind and percussion instruments during the production.<\/p>\n<p>The creative team also includes Holly Labbe, director and costume designer; Noel Levin, lighting designer, working with the original design by David Vogel; Ezrionna Prioleau, stage manager; and Ethan Eldred and Hailey Holcomb, stage crew.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Justin Poole, assistant professor of theater at Eastern Mennonite University, and professional composer and musician Jim Clemens present \u201cThe Gospel Project:\u00a0A Theatrical Journey through the Life of Jesus Christ.&#8221;
