Broadway-style musical, Paul:
A Musical Journey |
Taken
directly from the New Testament, Paul: A Musical Journey focuses
on one of the original founders of Christianity - the Apostle
Paul. Through 24 original songs ranging from tender ballads to
soaring gospel, the audience is taken on a journey of Paul’s
lifelong transformation from murderer to martyr, culminating
with his conversion on the road to Damascus.
While the story has its roots in the history of Christianity,
the musical’s
message is universal. Akron native Myricks takes the power of
music and voice to spin Paul’s tale into a harmonious celebration
of faith and inspiring testimony with a message of love, understanding,
humility and forgiveness.
Good Friday, April 14 at 8 p.m.
Tickets are $23.50 in advance,
$25.00 the day of the performance
