Peace in the Kingdom
A Musical Parable About Shalom
book by Cynthia and Michael Marion
music and lyrics by Michael Marion

A beautiful musical with a message of love and hope inspired by Isaiah 11:6-9
and the famous American painting,
The Peaceable Kingdom, by Edward
Hicks. As the show opens, actors assume the image of the painting in an art
gallery then unfreeze to become the citizens of the Global Village. They sing
and speak of their dream of shalom for all the world. "Shalom" is everything
good -- a gift from God so that all may live in harmony and health.  Musical
