"I put it together. This text. This holy, sacred text.

I made it What It Is."

Hear the (maybe) true story of the Bible's origins from the scribe inadvertently assigned the task! 

In ancient Jerusalem, a scribe races to codify the Torah and save his people. While Ezra and Nehemiah task him with conflicting goals, he questions his faith, struggles to reconcile the multiple authors of the ancient texts, and reminisces about the good-old-days of being an exile in Babylon.

The Scribe is a solo-show that offers audiences an anachronistic, funny and thoughtful "insider's look" at how one of the foundational documents of western civilization came to (maybe) be!
