Up to the Mark

Students have been taking part in an immersive theatre project which has helped them understand the Bible in new ways, it was reported in February.

As part of the Uncover Mark project, UCCF teamed up with the Mark Drama to give students another way to experience the story that Mark tells about Jesus in the Bible.

Theatre in the round

Fifteen students – often with little or no drama background or training – act out every event in Mark’s Gospel as theatre in the round. Students have found that it’s a powerful way to invite their friends to experience Jesus’ story. Many will come because they’re interested in theatre, or because their friends are performing.
