St. Peter's United Methodist Church, in conjunction with the Ocean City Tabernacle, will once again present a live dramatization of Leonardo da Vinci's painting "The Last Supper" at 7 p.m. Thursday, April 2 and 7 p.m. Friday, April 3.
The drama takes place at the Ocean City Tabernacle, 550 Wesley Avenue, in Ocean City, NJ.
With 13 living characters, the cast remains "frozen" in their positions duplicating the painting. One by one, each disciple breaks his "freeze" and speaks his mind in light of the words he has just heard Jesus speak, "One of you will betray me," at which point each man had cried out, "Lord, is it I?"
The tension continues to build throughout the drama to Judas' betrayal of Jesus.
Members of St. Peter's United Methodist Church, the Ocean City Tabernacle, First Presbyterian Church and Second Cape May Baptist Church will portray the disciples/Jesus/cast.
The churches invite you to experience an evening of drama, music and worship in the intimacy of the Upper Room as Jesus shares his last meal with His disciples, followed by a unique communion service.
Admission is free (offering received).
