The Lower Room
A fascinating retelling of the story of Jesus’ passion through the eyes of those who were the last of the followers at the cross, and the first at the tomb: women. Invaluable for several reasons, the play (some may say at last) brings new light to the women in the Bible. It answers: What were women doing, feeling, thinking while the men were gathered with Jesus in the Upper Room? Who knows… perhaps they were gathered in the Lower Room.

A BIG HURRAH to FreeFall Stage for “The Lower Room”. I have not been that moved by a play in 30 years!
I’ve been spreading the word that this is a “don’t miss” show. I hope you are SRO and extends the dates!
Thank you for putting on this wonderful play.

Such an incredible script performed by an amazing cast. I’m still thinking about it two days later. I enjoyed experiencing this message from the perspective of the women – the ones that held everything together behind the scenes.
