Journey to the Scrolls and Beyond: a One Man Show
Long ago, pieces of leather, inscribed by learned sages, were rolled into scrolls, to be read and studied only by a select few. For reasons still unknown to us, they were hidden in mountainous desert caves. Then, on a fateful day in 1947, when an Arab lad was searching for his lost goat, he stumbled upon what was to become the most important archaeological find of the twentieth century - ancient parchments, depicting the life and hopes of an unknown Judean sect.

Follow the adventure saga of Dr. Ken Hanson, as he recounts his odyssey from Chicago, as a wide-eyed undergraduate, to Jerusalem, as an inspired scholar, seeking out the mysteries of the 2,000-year-old Dead Sea Scrolls. Changing costume on stage, he morphs into a host of characters, to bring the Scrolls to life. Experience the continuing journey of discovery!

The Dead Sea Scrolls represent a huge body of Jewish documents dating from the third century B.C.E. to 68 C.E. Recognized as the greatest manuscript find of the twentieth century they demonstrate the rich literary activity of Second Temple Period Jewry and shed insight into centuries pivotal to both Judaism and Christianity. These scrolls and fragments were written in three different languages: Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek.

Don't miss this opportunity to witness this theatrical, and historical, presentation with Dr. Ken Hanson, UCF Professor of Judaic Studies, author and performer, who has taken his research and experiences in the Holy Land and given them life for Jews, Christians and Muslims alike.
