How
to do Born for This
The beauty of Born for
This as a production is that it is accessible
on many different levels and can be presented
in many ways, depending on the resources
you have available.
From a full scale production involving drama,
dance, narrators chorus and orchestra to
a simple, equally powerful presentation
involving slides, one or two readers and
a CD player.
Born for This has
been successfully adapted for use in both
primary and secondary schools; parishes
and cathedrals; radio broadcasts; reconciliation
services... you name it!
Although
the various elements of the Born for
This package have an indisputable synergy
when used together, the songs and reflections
work well independently also - a rich pool
of ideas for Lenten, Holy Week, Triduum
or Easter liturgies!

"We would like to let you know
that our production of Born for This was
a fantastic success. We had an audience
of 400 all of whom were both moved and at
the same time delighted with the performance.
But more this, the young people themselves
were able to consider more closley than
ever before the passion and death of Our
Lord.
To spend time with them praying the
Stations of the cross during the weeks before
Easter was a great joy. Performed on Palm
Sunday many people of all denominations
wrote in our comments book that this was
the very best way to start Holy week, I
have to say i couldn't agree more.
The sight of so many young people (30
young people took part) coming together
to consider the Passion not only moved and
encouraged the parish, but also encouraged
the young people themselves who then went
on to read the Good Friday readings and
take part in every single service during
Holy Week.
This experience will no doubt stay with
them forever as it will with those of us
who helped them. Only problem is everyone's
waiting for our Christmas performance, dont
Know if i can cope with the stress just
yet!!!!! thanks for a great script"
