The Gospel of Luke come to Pine Island

PINE ISLAND — Broadway actor Bruce Kuhn will reveal the story of Christ as told in Gospel of Luke on Saturday, Oct. 12, on stage at the former Pine Island Elementary School without props or sets, dressed in modern, casual clothing.

The show premiered at the acclaimed Actor’s Theatre of Louisville (one of America’s largest professional theaters) to rave reviews and an extended run. The text is the King James Version, which takes to the stage like Shakespeare.

The event, which is free, is sponsored by Vision Community Church.

“The Gospel of Luke is the story of Jesus, memorized word for word from the Bible and told with the passion and surprise of an eyewitness account,” church officials wrote in the press release announcing the production. “In a compelling 90 minutes, the words come alive with the urgency and humor of someone who was there.”

Javert, D’Artagnan and Puck
Kuhn appeared as Javert in Les Miserables on Broadway until he joined the National Tour of Chess. He also did the National Tour of Cotton Patch Gospel.

Three seasons at Actor’s Theatre of Louisville saw him in roles as diverse as D’Artagnan in “The Three Musketeers” and Puck in “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.”

He now tours his solo performances of “The Gospel of Luke,” “Acts,” “Tales of Tolstoy” and “Cotton Patch Gospel” to universities, churches and conferences across North America and Europe. He received his classical training and Master of Fine Arts at the University of Washington in Seattle under Dr. Robert Hobbs, and later trained with Uta Hagen in New York City. He is husband to Hetty and father to Frits and Juliette.
