Musically rewarding.
Practical to produce.

The Road to Easter follows Jesus and his friends from the joy of Palm Sunday, through the events of Holy Week, to the hope of Easter morning. The lyrical score gives performers music with emotional depth while keeping the storytelling clear and direct.

Schools, churches and other groups can shape the production around their performers, space and rehearsal time—using scenery and movement, or presenting it more simply as a narrated musical performance.
