Conceived and originally directed by John-Michael Tebelak, with music and new lyrics by

time. Additional song “By My Side” was written by composer Peggy Gordon and lyricist Jay
Hamburger.
Based on the Gospel According to St. Matthew & St. Luke, and featuring a sparkling score by

By Day." As the cast performs "Prepare Ye the Way of the Lord," "Learn Your Lessons Well,"
"All For The Best," "All Good Gifts," "Turn Back, O Man" and "By My Side," the parables of
Jesus Christ humanly and playfully come to life.
