“The Rock & the Rabbi” musical turn their first-time appearance in Mount Dora into an inspiring show of spiritual fortitude
Written by Blair Townley
The story of Jesus could never be more powerfully conveyed than through the eyes, ears and thoughts of one of his disciples.
Lake County residents were given that unique opportunity at the newly-renovated Mount Dora Community Building with the performance of “The Rock & The Rabbi,” a new form of acoustic musical combining storytelling with songs and instruments.
So simple in concept but impactful in its message of hope and eternal love as audiences experienced the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, as foretold by one of his most recognized disciples, Peter.
