Bob Jones University Presents The Living Gallery

An Upstate Easter tradition in its 15th year continues through Saturday at Bob Jones University.

This year’s production titled “Somewhere Forever," features life-size reproductions of classic works of religious art, incorporating live actors into the paintings and sculptures.

The Living Gallery opened on Thursday at the school.

Directed by Jeff Stegall, a faculty member at the school, "Somewhere Forever" is the story of three lives in crisis: a man facing life as a widower at age 30, an abuse victim unable to find peace and a 20-something who wants to break away from his past.

When conversations in a local coffee shop turn to matters of life and death, failure and hope, Tyler, Lizzie and Chris must decide what to do with the claims of Christ.

“We are thrilled to be able to serve the Upstate community again this year by providing this Easter-themed production,” said Darren Lawson, dean of the School of Fine Arts and Communication. “It’s hard to believe that BJU produced the first Living Gallery production 15 years ago. Countless people have been blessed and challenged each year by the message of Easter displayed in these performances. The Living Gallery has truly become a tradition for many in the Upstate.”

Performances will be held at 4:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. on Friday and at 2 p.m., 4:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. on Saturday.

Tickets may be purchased online or by calling (864) 770-1372.
