Our prayer is for people who have searched for 'it' in things or in other people and have been disappointed, that they take another look at the cross and the power of the resurrection.

It was a challenge because we wanted to be sensitive to their own personal issues without exploiting them in any way.

Meredith came up with the concept right after Christmas. After that, it was a collaborative effort, but she pretty much had it all in her head from the start.

One lesson I've learned (in this production) is that the real gospel message of the cross, the blood and the resurrection is as powerful as it ever was, but the way it is presented from one generation to the next is vitally different. This being a sight and sound generation, we have to go more toward the dramatic and tech approach to get their interest.
