Several Daviess County residents will be performing at Farris Theater in Richmond in the upcoming production of Savior of the World on Nov. 9, 10 & 11.
Savior of the World is a King James Bible, New Testament, depiction of the birth and resurrection of Jesus Christ produced by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
Hunter Rahm, 12, of Gallatin, begins the production with a solo in his role as the shepherd, Nathan. The first act of the play depicts the events leading up to the birth of Christ including the scenes of Zacharias and Elizabeth being told of the birth of John the Baptist, the angel foretelling the birth of Jesus, the shepherds seeing the choir of angels, and the Nativity scene.
The second act depicts the events following the death of Christ. In the beginning of the act, Monica Fawson of Gallatin, who performs as Mary Magdalene, sings a solo which conveys the heartache felt by those women who went to the tomb of Christ to find it empty. The events depicted include a scene in which Melissa Joyce of Jameson plays Mary the mother of Jesus as she and other women express their joy of seeing Christ after He was resurrected. Also in the second act, Clinton Giles of Gallatin performs the part of the apostle Peter. Peter takes part in the depiction of Christ showing Himself to the men in the upper room after His resurrection. Other scenes in the final act also include the heartache of the apostle Thomas and his doubt, and the disciples’ joy of seeing Christ along the road.
