Modern Miracle

by Steven G. Martin

TEN-MINUTE PLAY. Jesús has a perfect meal prepared for Maddie, Marco, Lucas, and Johanna. Their tastes and preferences may frustrate him so much, though, that this could be the last supper for this group of friends.

    “

    Poor Jesus, it would take a true miracle worker to satisfy the diverse needs of his self-absorbed friends. This nifty comedy skewers food faddism and bad, bad guests while also presenting a portrait of a hapless host. And it re-affirms one of my core beliefs, pizza is the answer to everything.

    "Jesus wept." With friends like these, it's no wonder.

    Steven G. Martin delivers a clever, absorbing and funny modern sendup of The Last Supper, casting Jesús as the party host who can do no right and all of his friends as doubters who are determined to ruin (what could be) their last night together. The misadventures of this failed dinner party make for a wonderfully entertaining short play. I would love to see this on stage. Bravo!

    STEVEN G. MARTIN takes us on a fun ride through the last supper with big differences from the Last Supper. It’s a witty look at a group of friends, all with their own preferences, eating at Jesus’ place. “Modern Miracle” is just another gem from the creative mind of Steven G. Martin.
