Last Year's Performance

Last year's production of The Garden was met with great success. We had over 40 participants perform  for over 700 visitors. Elder Olsen, the director of the Washington D.C. Temple Visitors' Center concluded that it was "one of the finest productions we have seen since our arrival."

Here are some of the photos take from last year's performance:

The Garden - Easter Performance: April 7 & 8, 2012

     The Garden, written by Michael McLean and Bryce Neubert, is an allegorical oratorio of Gethsemane. According to Deseret Book, "The Garden is a musical tribute to Jesus Christ that focuses on his great love and the far-reaching consequences of this atoning sacrifice... a stirring reminder of what took place in Gethsemane and of the debt of gratitude all creation owes to the Redeemer of the World."

     This unique musical production will be performed at the Washington D.C. Temple Visitors' Center this coming Easter weekend April 7th & 8th, by multi-talented Young Single Adults from the DC area, and will be under the direction of composer and singer-songwriter Perla Antoniak.

All YSA's (and mid-singles) in the area are welcome to participate. This is a great opportunity for those who love to sing to share your testimony of the Savior through music. The production is 70 minutes long with a cast made up of a choir, 8 soloists, and a narrator. All levels of experience are welcome. There is no need to audition to sing in the choir, just show up to practice. If you would like a solo part, please come audition.
