The Mix

Acting the Bible

Greenbelt Festival

The group will look at a passage from the Gospels then walk through several steps to stage the action scene by scene. Participants can choose from a variety of roles to take in the process including actor, director, photographer, reporter and observer. Bibliodramas give us an amazing opportunity to experience the scriptures with all of my minds, hearts and body.

"Toscano’s acting skills as well as the format of the piece recall the one-woman shows of Lily Tomlin and Whoopi Goldberg whose character studies unearth the neurotic complications in all of us."
John W. Sykes, in Newsweekly

"In a time when controversies rage over gay marriage, ordination of homosexuals in the church and the nature of sexuality, Toscano’s unique storytelling neither attacks nor forcibly instructs, but rather invites audiences to sift through various accounts and move beyond issues to the underlying human stories."
Peggy Campolo, Christian writer and lecturer
