30 AD. The midst of Roman occupation. A mysterious messiah roams ancient Galilee. His startling message leads a father away from home, leaving his wife and son to deal with a tragic upheaval. Bread of Life examines the costs of religious radicalism in the context of political oppression and domestic discipline.

UP Theater Company celebrates its 15th Season with the world premiere of Bread of Life by Frank Pagliaro, directed by Leslie Kincaid Burby. We may know the story of St. Peter, but what about the family he left behind? Bread of Life tells the original story of a family in Bethsaida, fractured by the Messianic message of a mysterious carpenter from Nazareth, and the fallout of fanaticism.
