←Recommendations of Jesus at 10 (an evening of 10 short plays)

I love stories that portray Jesus and those close to him as regular people with hopes and dreams and fears and flaws, and this collection of shorts does just that. It makes you see the Jesus story in a new light and leaves you with a lot to think about. While each piece can stand on its own, it's particularly moving to experience them all together. What a lovely and surprisingly touching collection of shorts!

A perfect selection for Christian groups, beautifully bringing much to life about Jesus, God and the faith. Well done.

Church groups--who are constantly on the lookout for faith-based plays to present--would do well to look at this series of shorts that can be performed separately or as a complete evening. Presenting plenty of opportunity for discussion, these plays are built from many layers of faith, poetry and, most of all, humanity. Lovely and moving.

I was really surprised by how moved I was by this play. Based on the description I had a lot of opinions going in. What I got was an imaginative, very human and very haunting experience. It seems like these ten minute pieces can be performed separately, but I feel like it would work better if they were all seen in sequence.

Opens with a lyrically written meditation on a screaming baby Jesus. Rare to see plays about faith and the major figures of the Christian imagination written this relatably and kindly. We even see Jesus with a bit of writer's block. Funny, challenging, and instructive. Would be an easily staged and superior night of theater for a church community or the greater public.

This is a deeply satisfying portrait.

Weaver shows moments of the character's clarity and knowledge, but is humane enough to show his moments of doubts, fear and rebellion.

It's a satisfying portrait also because there are plenty of subjective moments of intimacy paired with a brief, objective moment of almost-historic documentation -- which then leads to an ultimate understanding.

Surprising and reassuring, epic and intimate. This play embraces so much, including its subject and its audience. I hope I have the opportunity to direct and/or attend a performance.
