12 Mar 2013... "The People’s Passion Play is one of the most captivating and original productions that I ever experienced... It is original, very well directed, and performed fabulously by the ensemble... The audience is taken on an entertaining, humorous and ultimately moving journey through biblical time as the trio belts out old hymns, spirituals and folk tunes... The audience is captivated by Quest’s signature use of the large-scale puppetry... The most poignant part was the crucifixion; where Mary is holding Jesus after his death and a group of the ensemble enters with white crosses depicting all of the recent shooting tragedies while singing the old hymn “I Need Thee Oh I Need Thee”. It was very touching and very emotional."

The above is taken from a review of Passion Play by Showbiz Chicago. Read the rest here. The People's Passion Play runs through March 31 in Chicago. Go here for more information and to make a reservation.

26 Nov 2012... Last week, our film Kindred won the Midwest Emmy for "Best Documentary - Topical". It is a huge honor. Much of the credit goes to Michael Sternoff for conceiving and directing the film. A labor of love. I have gotten loads of requests over the past week for where the movie can be seen and where the music can be heard. Below is the first of three parts of the film. The second part is here and the third part here. Also below is a player with the music from the film. Enjoy!
