Toronto actor Jason Hildebrand is performing a one-man show this weekend based on Donald Miller’s book Blue Like Jazz. This will be touring Europe and the rest of North America this fall, but if you live in Toronto, this promises to be a very interesting presentation of the ideas presented in the book, which declares itself to be “nonreligious thoughts on Christian spirituality.” The author will be in attendance at the launch of the show at the Artword Theatre, 75 Portland Street. Tickets can be had by calling the St. Lawrence Centre at (416) 366-7723, Ext. 290 or you can book online.
Interesting to note that the music is by Paul Neufeld, the Juno-winning musical genius who also played at our wedding, and that the project is being partially produced by Imago, which is run by my old prof and friend John Franklin. I just found out about this today, and it’s short notice, but I’m going to try my best to be there.
We ended up going on Sunday evening, with our friends Jay (www.bombippy.com) and Lissa (www.stuffandjunk.com), who have used the book in their small group. We all really liked it but I think you would need to read the book to get the most from it. Especially cool was the use of the Lego Bible stories from The Brick Testament (www.thebricktestament.com).
