My friend Bill Burnett is writing a full-length musical called Passed Over. He's a terrific musician and was the VP and Creative Director at Hanna-Barbera. I can't wait to see this on opening night.
It's a fresh take on the Exodus story from the POV of the slaves, the people in the streets. Who were they? How did they feel about this Moses guy trying to liberate them by doing tricks with his stick? Bill refers to himself as a Secular Jewmanist, and he's sort of subversively using the Bible story of Exodus to (the slaves escaping from Egypt) to create a piece that will be a voice for the Occupy movement, and for all oppressed people everywhere who are rising up against inequality.
