Description
The Life of Jude is the hilarious and devastating parable of a misguided priest who believes he is a chosen disciple of God. An epic biblical musical that spans the life of a young boy raised by the church who in his attempts to fulfill The Word, sows tragedy all around him. Outlandish, outrageous, and unexpected.
