Praise for "According to Mark" In April, ACCORDING TO MARK was performed at the Fourth Presbyterian Church on the corner of Delaware and Michigan in downtown Chicago. "Jim Krag's flawless portrayal of the Gospel According to Mark brings alive the story of Jesus with a fresh immediacy. To be so strongly drawn into the dynamic urgency of this fast-moving Gospel is to know its impact on those first followers of Jesus. Through this production, their experience becomes our own!" Tom Rook Fourth Presbyterian Church, Chicago, IL "No one wanted to leave - everyone wanted to stay and
talk...Now, isn't that magic? ...(Instead of) a stuffy
old guy, (Mark) was dynamic and alive and could tell
you more tales of his leader if you just stuck around."
Sue Pellowe Fourth Presbyterian Church, Chicago, IL "It was lovely and witty...I started laughing...but I
got some looks. I tried to tell these folks, "I'm
laughing WITH Jesus, not AT Him!"
Gail R., Chicago, IL "What an awesome show! I've got to say your
performance was unlike anything I've ever seen
before!...May you continue to touch many souls on this
wonderful journey."
Peter G., Chicago, IL "I liked the simplicity of (it)...It helped focus on
what you were trying to get across. You were not the
focus of the tale, the story of Jesus was...You came
across very sincere and not dramatic or trying to
impress..."
Frank S. Chicago, IL
In February, ACCORDING TO MARK played to a standing room only crowd at the Orchard Ridge United Church of Christ in Madison, WI. Described by patrons as "soul-inspiring and "a triumph", this benefit performance raised over $16,000 for Habitat for Humanity. "Your thoughtful, carefully researched, chosen – and, yes, humorous – interpretation of Mark’s Gospel continues to inspire us." Jim and Bernie Treichel Habitat for Humanity, Madison, Wisconsin "...ACCORDING TO MARK brought (the story of Jesus) to life in ways I never imagined! It was a soul-inspiring performance. I remain indebted to you for raising the profile of Mark's Gospel in our eyes." Winton Boyd, Senior Pastor, Orchard Ridge UCC, Madison WI. "...ACCORDING TO MARK was a spiritually enriching experience!...this presentation made it feel like you were hearing of Jesus just as the first Christian believers would have heard of Him. It was powerful to listen to one person tell the gospel story straight from the Bible with such intelligence and passion." Pastor Sheryl Erickson Good Shepherd Lutheran Church, Madison WI "This is going to stay with me..." Linda K., Chicago IL "A triumph!" Jan C., Madison WI
