  3. ZAC AND SIAH OR, JESUS IN A BODY BAG


By Jeffrey Lo

Directed by Jeffrey Lo

7pm PST Monday, NOVEMBER 16, 2020

Jesus has just died on the cross and everyone is left confused and unsure of what to do next. Especially Jesus' loyal homies Zac and Siah who - despite what Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John will have you think - were really important to Jesus. Turning water into wine? They figured that out. Bread and fish for the village? Their handiwork as well. But when Jesus calls his shot and announces that he will rise from the dead, Zac and Siah become desperate to keep their friend's credibility and the Good News alive.
