famed painting of "The Last
Supper”—the canvas by which
most of Christendom envisions
one of its most hallowed events
and scene of divine promise of
eternal life—will come to life
here for the ninth successive
year when it will be staged in
a dramatization at 8 p.m.
Maundy Thursday, April 18, at
the Music Hall.
With specially designed cos-
tumes, lighting effects and set-
tings, the portrayal will aim
at a replica, as nearly authen-
tic as staging will permit, of
Leonardo da Vinci's immortal
masterpiece.
No Admission Charge
Harris County's Christian
churches join in sponsoring the
annual production, which has
won wide acclaim as one of the
most notable Southwestern
events commemorating the
Holy Week. There is no ad-
mission charge and the public
is invited.
The players, all of whom are
business and professional men,
contribute their time in weeks
of rehearsal, meditation and
preparation for the event. Pro.
duction costs are borne by the
Christian churches.
