FINAL WEEKEND:
“UNDERNEATH THE LINTEL” closes Sunday at Titusville Playhouse’s second stage. This is a most curious and provocative play, taking the audience through a mystery where they try to help a strange Librarian unravel an important truth which will prove the existence of God. It concerns the existence of the legendary “Wandering Jew,” who refused succor to Christ on his way to Golgotha. The man, in turn, was condemned to wander the Earth until the Second Coming. The proof will make all our lives worth something, he says. Or, is the Librarian the Wandering Jew, an other worldly character, a cypher also “cursed” to wander the world because he denied love. It runs through Sunday at the Titusville Playhouse, 301 Julia St., Titusville. Call 321-268-1125 or visit TitusvillePlayhouse.com, or show your appreciation of TPI’s support of Brevard Culture by clicking onto TPI’s ad for “Sister Act” which is on the right side of this page.
