Musicalen EXODUS
Handlingen i musicalen foregår i Jerusalem noen dager etter pinse, det året da Jesus døde og sto opp igjen. Vi møter igjen noen av de personene som vi leser om i evangeliene. Det er mennesker som ble konfrontert med Jesus da han gikk omkring i Jødeland, og vi forsøker å finne ut litt om hvilke konsekvenser dette fikk for dem.
