The Leamington-based ensemble will work with over two hundred performers from the local community to create Tigress, a piece inspired by the story of Æthelfleda, the eldest daughter of King Alfred the Great. A powerful queen in her own right, she was responsible for refortifying the Saxon town of Tamworth and leading the Mercians into battle against the vikings. Tigress is just one of many projects that Motionhouse has planned for 2015. The company will also be collaborating with No Fit State Circus on a brand new outdoor show called Block. We’ll keep you posted. Plenty to excite in Coventry theatre’s new season... Broadway hit Cougar The Musical will make its UK debut at the Belgrade Theatre next year. Donna Moore’s ‘sassy and provocative’ production, directed by Belgrade Creative Associate Patricia Benecke, forms part of an exciting new programme at the Coventry venue. Also featured in the Belgrade’s line-up of shows is: the UK premiere of Maureen Chadwick’s comedy, Crush - a new musical set in an all-girls boarding school; Martin Baltscheit’s Only A Day - a thought-provoking play for the under-sevens; and Em Hussaun’s Blood - a study of family betrayal.

  • Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} in Hell by L. Marshall James 8 Bible Verses on Christ’S Descent Into Hell
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} In Hell by L. Marshall James 8 Bible Verses on Christ’s Descent into Hell. P reviously we examined “Why Did Christ Descend into Hell?” and discussed the four abodes of Hell. On this Holy Saturday, here are eight Bible verses for you to keep near you for apologetic purposes. These eight verses describe the descent of Christ into the Limbo of the Fathers (also known as Abraham’s Bosom). Saint Paul teaches us in Ephesians 4:9 that Christ our Lord descended into Hell after He offered His life on the cross. “Now that He ascended, what is it, but because He also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?” Note here that Hell is described as having “parts” that is the four parts of Hell. Saint Peter said in Acts 2:24 that “God hath raised up Christ, having loosed the sorrows of hell, as it was impossible that He should be holden by it.” Christ loosed the Old Testament saints from hell. Saint Peter also wrote in 1 Peter 3:19 that “Christ coming in spirit preached to those spirits that were in prison, which had some time been incredulous.” On this verse, Saint Athanasius says that “Christ’s body was laid in the sepulchre when He went to preach to those spirits who were in bondage, as Peter said.” (Ep. ad Epict.) The prophet Hosea foretold the descent of Christ into Hell in Hosea 13:14 by placing these words into the mouth of the Messiah: “O death, I will be thy death; O hell, I will be thy bite.” Zechariah foretells the redemption of those in the Limbo of the Fathers in Zech 9:11: “Thou also by the blood of Thy Testament hast sent forth Thy prisoners out of the pit.” What could this mean except that the Messiah would free people from the underworld? Colossians 2:15: “Despoiling the principalities and powers, He hath exposed them confidently.” This refers to Christ’s victory over the condemned angels who are the demons of Hell.

  • Les 13, 21, 22, 23, 24 Et 26 Juillet 2016 Scène Masséna – Théâtre De Verdure
    Communiqué de presse Nice, le vendredi 15 avril 2016 Les 13, 21, 22, 23, 24 et 26 juillet 2016 Scène Masséna – Théâtre de Verdure « Nice s’impose aujourd’hui comme une destination incontournable pour les artistes et les festivaliers. 2015 a été l’année de tous les records. Les 60 000 spectateurs du Nice Jazz Festival et les 10 500 du Nice Music Live by Nice Jazz Festival en sont la preuve. La première édition du Nice Music Live, organisée en coproduction avec Adam Concerts, a été une véritable réussite grâce notamment à David Guetta, Selah Sue et Lindsey Stirling. J’ai souhaité que cet été s’annonce encore plus inoubliable. C’est une grande fierté pour nous que de voir Maroon 5, Rihanna ou bien encore Coldplay choisir Nice pour leur concert. Les 31 concerts du Nice Jazz Festival avec entres autres Massive Attack, Robert Plant, Mélody Gardot, ou bien encore Ibrahim Maalouf réuniront tous les publics. Fort du succès du Nice Music Live de l’an dernier, j’ai souhaité donner une autre dimension à ce festival toujours en coproduction avec Adam Concerts et 105dB. C’est ainsi que cette année il y aura 6 soirées pour 7 événements sur 2 scènes avec au programme Rodrigo y Gabriela, Maître Gims et BigFlo & Oli, Milky Chance, Broken Back, The Avener et Synapson, Fréro Delavega et Julian Perretta, Louise Attaque et Feu! Chatterton et le projet interactif « Silence Events » dont le concept novateur est d’écouter un concert muni d’un casque audio. Cette programmation, qui saura ravir encore un autre public, démontre que la ville de Nice aime la musique, toutes les musiques et confirme encore un peu plus son statut de destination estivale incontournable.
