Passion plays out at St. Rita, N.O.

Members of the Speech and Drama teams at St. Rita School in New Orleans presented the Passion on April 21 in St. Rita Church. The actors, led by Johnny Fisher in the role of Jesus (at left, being offered sour wine on the cross, and at right, being carried to the tomb), incorporated interpretive dance, singing, dramatic monologues and prayer into the riveting production. The play was directed by St. Rita language arts teacher Deidre Reed. (Photos by Beth Donze)
