TouchDown Jesus - The Play - ERIC ETEBARI

TouchDown Jesus
a clip of Eric Etebari as Ralph Metz
from the play by Alexander Maggio
directed by Dani Roter
Film clip: JeanFerro/TheArtStarz

In Oakhurst, Ohio, an eighty-foot statue of Jesus spreads his arms. The son of a local football coach dies in a tragic accident. His mega-church's pastor, a friend of the family, offers to make a documentary about the boy's life, but the young woman filmmaker who shoots the film uncovers secrets, and life gets a lot more complicated than football!"

"I feel most rewarded in collaboration with actors of intuitive intelligence. Eric Etebari and Jeanette Driver can internalize character-driven cues and compel characters to life with the immediacy of truth...which is the locus of theatrical magic."...Dani Roter, Director
