Resurrection Cantata / Music Drama

"Resurrection", a musical cantata, is the inspirational story of Simon Peter and the forgiveness of Jesus Christ.  The performance leads the audience on an unforgettable spiritual journey with St. Peter as he faces his martyrdom.  Peter recalls his own experiences with Christ as well as those he shared with Mary Magdalene and the disciples as they followed Jesus.  In moving song, Peter shows the anguish for his denial of Christ and the joy that comes with the Resurrection and His forgiveness.

The St. Patrick's Family Players is a multi-denominational musical group from Watertown, MA, featuring over 100 performers from ages 3 to 80.  The group, directed by Carly Johanson and Jean-Alfred Chavier, was founded by Judy Johanson in 1997 to perform "Resurrection" as part of Watertown's St. Patrick Church's 150th anniversary.

The St. Patrick's Family Players have also taken their musical ministry to Ireland and Italy.  In 2007 they opened their 11th season by performing in California for its creator, Bryon Jeffery Leech.  The St. Patrick's Family Players wish to express their gratitude for the opportunity to share the joy of Christ's love as Bryan has brought it to us and to many others through his inspiring music.
