Synopsis
By the Sea dramatizes in song and story incidents from the life of Jesus that
took place along the shores of the Sea of Galilee, in and near the town of
Capernaum. After the title song sets the scene, three persons (Aaron Miechkota,
Mary Guynan and Marion Golden) enter seeking
Jesus. One is sick, another hungry, the third in need of a friend. Together,
they represent the needs we all bring to Jesus. They have been told that they
might find Jesus down by the sea, so they go from place to place looking for
him. They never catch up with him, but eagerly listen to the stories of people
who knew him.
Scene 5: By The Sea – Finale
In Scene 5, runners bring word that Jesus has been arrested and crucified,
and all the people grieve. Then the children bring the good news that Jesus
has risen and served breakfast to his friends beside the sea. Everyone
rejoices and the Seekers realize that they still have time to find Jesus and
bring their needs to him.
