The church is located at 110 West Franklin, one block west and south of the Troy traffic circle. The play is open to the public and admission is free. Child care will be provided.

The setting for this drama was inspired by Leonardo DaVinci’s painting of The Last Supper. It takes place in the Upper Room during the last Passover meal celebrated by Jesus and His disciples before the crucifixion. It was written by Susan Furlong and Marilee Lake and was published by Eldridge Publishing in 1997. Since then it has been produced every year at churches across the country.
During the play each disciple tells why he chose to follow Jesus and how his life has been changed by His presence. Like all men of faith, past and present, each has a different vision of the Lord’s purpose. Yet, despite their doubts and fears, they are united in their devotion to the Messiah. The audience will experience the humanness of each apostle in this powerful presentation that asks, “Is one of the seats at the table for you?”
The play involves several notable Tipp Citians. Susan Furlong, author & director, Marilee Lake, author, and Tom Rogers, actor (Judas)
