Just a few handshakes away from Joseph and Brigham
We're putting on a play this weekend in our stake — "Barefoot to Zion," a musical commissioned by the church for the 1997 sesquicentennial of the entry of the pioneers into Salt Lake Valley.
The play is set in the era when new converts were urged to come gather with the Saints. When the play begins, that gathering place is Nauvoo; by the end, it is Salt Lake Valley.
Near the beginning of the play, word reaches a branch near Manchester, England, that Joseph and Hyrum Smith were killed. A recently released bishop, Ned Jarvis, was cast as the branch president who breaks the news to the Saints.
