  • Could you explain the thought process behind presenting Socrates's most powerful and passionate discourse through a shopping mom who is barely paying attention?

    The cognitive dissonance generated between the words I'm hearing and the images I'm watching is really powerful, but in a way that pulls me right out of the show.

    Was this your intent? I am strangely fascinated.

  • I have no idea, I did not direct it.

  • This is amazing, so well put together!

  • Brilliant. Using feedback as the shofar...mad crazy respect on that choice.

  • My mom is the red head, the bar tender!. and my brother is the boy in the grocery cart how intense is that haha

  • Really excellent performance. I'm an old Godspell fan. I've listened to the original soundtrack hundreds of times, and newer productions rarely measure up, but this one does.

    Is the soundtrack from this production available?

  • @rmutt4 I disagree, I found that to be the most profound part of it, because if you think about it shes probably the most normal everyday one of the bunch and it seemed as if she was teaching this odd philosophy to her child, which makes it even more strange and absurd that a child that age would even understand what she was talking about. I think they were commenting on how seriously the woman takes herself and how she just breezes through her day convinced she's right about everything.

  • This is the most unique presentation of this scene I've ever watched. Excellent idea!

  • Brilliant opening to this show!

  • This is what the Tower of Babble really is, Athiests, thiests, all other religions, Philosophys and different Ideals corrupt the lords truths.

    Satan has all of us by the balls and believing in ideals and philosophys , and wanting proof of God to believe in him when the bible teaches to not test our God. The Ideals are the lies of Satan. Tempting us to believe that science and it's theorys are the only true answers and religion or faith is ole school and not logical. This is the lie !!!!

  • a wonderfully thought out video, however the camera work with the guy in the bar was a p.o.s, i suggest getting a better one.
