2014 Passion Play Auditions Tri County Choir Institute

Auditioning for "Why Must He Die?"
Auditioning for the onstage cast of "Why Must He Die?", the musical 
passion play of presented for the 23rd consecutive year by TriCounty 
Choir Institute. will be held Sunday, February 9 from 2-6pm in the 
choir room of St. John Neumann Parish on Rochester Road in Franklin 
Park. There will be 11 performances during Lent at churches of
all denominations. It is written and directed by Linda Wallace of 
Sewickley Hills. It is open to HS students and adults. There is no cost 
to the cast member, but each will be given private singing and acting 
lessons. "Why Must He Die?" is a meditation through music, liturgical 
dance and drama on the life, death and resurrection of Jesus. This is 
done by using a play within a play. Throughout the trial of Jesus, the 
action is stopped. The apostles and holy women are seen reflecting 
on Jesus' life and reacting on what led Jesus to his death. They share 
these thoughts with the audience as if they hypothetically would have 
been allowed to observe the trial. Each participant is a character from 
the Bible and each one has speaking lines and is on stage the entire 
play and involved in all of the choral numbers. For more information, 
please call 412-741-3463 or lindaswallace@comcast.net.
