Dr. Martha J. Smith Releases COMFORT YE MY PEOPLE

In her new book "Comfort Ye My People: The Church's Mandate toward Israel and the Jewish People" (published by WestBow Press) Dr. Martha J. Smith documents the increase of anti-Semitic attacks in Europe. Also examined are the Jewish roots of Christianity and the Church's schism from these roots. Smith traces the history of Christian persecution of the Jewish people from the time of the Church's assimilation into the Roman Empire as the state religion. Also examined are Martin Luther's invectives against the Jewish people, which paved the way for Hitler's "Aryanized" Lutheran Church.

In 1998 when Jason Robert Brown won a Tony Award for the score of this unusually provocative musical Parade, the opulent Broadway production closed to critical acclaim, but due to excessive costs, the show remained inaccessible until the Donmar Warehouse resurrected it and produced a tight - minus the frills - mounting at the Mark Taper Forum in 2009. 3-D Theatricals, who are becoming increasingly known for their superlative skill with producing big musicals, have decided to put back many of the frills of the original and double the cast to its original size - 36, in order to enhance and give the musical the big, full-voiced chorus sound it deserves. And, in my mind, this bigger hybrid version surpasses the Taper's for its grande musical elegance and the presence of a perfectly cast lead actor in the role of Leo Frank, Jeff Skowron. (more...)
