Magis Theatre Company’s Logos Project presents a revival of their critically acclaimed production of *mark, a solo performance of the Gospel of Mark. Originally produced at La MaMa ETC and directed by Luann Purcell Jennings in 2014, it features original music composed by internationally acclaimed, award-winning composer Elizabeth Swados. Actor George Drance will again perform the role of the storyteller. James Martin SJ called the production “moving, creative, exciting, challenging, profound.” *mark will be performed at Theatre 315 located at  315 W. 47th St. New York, NY. The show dates are as follows: Wednesdays, April 12 and 19 at 7PM; Thursdays, April 6, 13 and 20 at 7pm; Friday April 7, 14 and 21 at 8PM; Saturday April 8, 15 and 22 at 2PM. Tickets are available at Eventbrite: tinyurl.com/36h7rzdt. The production is directed by Jackie Lucid.

This year is the 10th anniversary of  “The Joy of the Gospel” in which  His Holiness Pope Francis writes: “Whenever we make the effort to return to the source and to recover the original freshness of the Gospel, new avenues arise, new paths of creativity open up, with different forms of expression, more eloquent signs and words with new meaning for today’s world.”  Magis’ production of *mark takes this as its inspiration.

This messenger of commitment and love is portrayed as a wandering street artist, using drawings to illuminate the text, and to map out the geography of Christ’s mission.
