It was the second production at Ragtown Gospel Theater, and it remains the favorite of many who saw LAZARUS staged back in 2007. We are very excited about bringing this deeply moving story back, with Glenn Polk in one of his most memorable portrayals.
The play takes place in Bethany, where Lazarus lived, died, and was buried, only to be miraculously restored to life by Jesus just days before His own death, burial, and resurrection. However, that familiar chapter in the life of Jesus’s friend is not the story told in this play.
It is many years later, and all those who were dear to the ancient Lazarus are long dead. Most were victims of the persecution of Jesus’s followers that followed His resurrection. Lazarus has been left alive, and alone by the agents of the Sanhedrin. Now, as he longs to be reunited with those he loves, the Lord reveals one final challenge for His loyal servant.
A nameless pilgrim seeks out Lazarus, forcing him to relive the greatest moment of despair in his long life, and together they uncover a story that brings them both the healing they have long sought.
Of the 21 productions staged to date at Ragtown, this play had more impact on people’s lives than any other. Its powerful message reveals the healing power of forgiving others, just as we have been forgiven. It is a life changing experience.
