Cracking the Code to Christianity
The Da Vinci Code premieres at the Erie Playhouse
BEGINNING FRIDAY, JUN. 13
History paints the portrait of winners, of saints, of those who sacrifice themselves for the greater good. It shapes entire systems of faith and religious practices as we know them. But it doesn't paint the whole picture, leaving one to wonder if there's more to the story. And sometimes, that knowledge comes at a cost.
Following the untimely and curious circumstances of Louvre curator Jacques Saunière's death, Harvard professor Robert Langdon and cryptologist Sophie Neveu are summoned to solve a cryptic message left behind in the final moments of Saunière's life.
However, time is running out, and danger lurks around every corner in the Erie Playhouse's upcoming production of The Da Vinci Code.
Based on Dan Brown's best-selling novel, The Da Vinci Code is an action-packed story of religious conspiracy, mystery, and adventure across Europe. Do Langdon and Neveu have what it takes to crack the code before it's lost forever?
The Erie Playhouse is excited to bring this "international phenomenon" to their Mainstage and premiere it for all of northwestern Pennsylvania to enjoy.
In addition to a wide range of vivid settings and beautiful reproductions of famous artwork, the play offers many talented actors in its supporting cast, including two who are making their debut: J.P. Driscoll will be Langdon's good friend, Sir Leigh Teabing, and Petra Shearer will take on the roles of Sister Sandrine as well as a docent.
For those interested in seeing the show on its opening weekend, discounted tickets, live music from the The Ryah Lambert Band and Jason Lawergren, and food and beverages courtesy of the Atacolypse Food Truck and Voodoo Brewing Company will be made available for purchase.
Due to themes of violence and mature language, this play may not be suitable for audiences of all ages. Viewer discretion is advised.
