The “Prologue” of God’s Masterpiece

Mary is thoughtful as she holds Jesus and escapes to Egypt.

.

The “Prologue” is twenty-four “frozen pictures” made up of human statues (tableaus), that “preview” the events of the life of Christ, from His humble birth in Bethlehem to His triumphant ascension. Stirring music and inspirational narration ushers each human “tableau” along as the lights come up, then gently fade out, on picture after picture of “tableaus” scattered throughout the set.

The audience will turn their heads in all directions, as they take in these rich pictures that promise to lead them on an inspiring, emotional journey. At the end of the “Prologue” the actors enter to the music of “Here He Comes,” and the play begins with “The Triumphal Entry of Jesus.”

The “Prologue” is included in the “God’s Masterpiece” script and in every “Performance Soundtrack Playlist” included on the “Performance Package” page. You can view the “Prologue” by viewing the first part of the “God’s Masterpiece” full performance movie.
