The Savior of the World: Production Notes and History



Much time and energy has been devoted to making this production a success, by many ordinary individuals, not necessarily any particular acting skill, or any vocal talent, but all have become involved in this production because of their testimony of the Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and their desire to share their testimony through this production.

According to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saint's website, the production is described as follows: "The original production was prepared for the inauguration of the Church's Conference Center Theater in Salt Lake City, Utah, as a testimony of the Savior on the second millennial anniversary of His birth. As a scripturally based depiction of events surrounding the birth and resurrection of the Savior, this presentation can be useful in building testimonies, strengthening friendships, and sharing the gospel with those of other faiths.
"

This production focuses on only two elements of Christ's life, his birth and resurrection.  That Christ was entered this world in a mortal body, after being conceived and carried by a virgin, is a well recognized fact among Christian-based religions throughout the world.  His death and subsequent burial, and resurrection, are equally cherished parts of the Christian belief.  This production will attempt to expound on these cherished events and hope to impart a special spirit to all who attend, a spirit which will linger in their hearts and minds as they leave the production. 

A recording (vocals and orchestra) of the original production in Salt Lake City can be purchased directly from the LDS Church for a nominal fee of $11.00.

Photos and follow-up information will be published after the first performance.
