When Jesus warned against the “hypocrites” who perform their righteousness, he used the Greek word hypokrites — a stage actor, one who speaks behind a mask. There is no better place to sit with that image than Broadway, where masks are a craft and performance is the air everyone breathes.
This four‑day journey steps into the theater — onstage, backstage, and into the actor’s discipline — to ask a quietly searching question: where do we perform our faith, our worth, our very selves, for the approval of an audience that was never meant to judge us? Through a Broadway show, a set tour, time with working actors, and an improv class that strips away the script, we explore Jesus’ critique of the performed life and the freedom of living unmasked before an audience of One.
It is the most surprising journey in the Via Ruach canon, and the most disarming. You’ll laugh, you’ll be a little exposed, and you’ll leave lighter — having set down a mask you’d forgotten you were wearing.
