Original One-man Portrayal of Martin Luther

Written & Performed by Allan Lemke

 

 
Text Box: Text Box: For over 12 years Allan has brought his one-man portrayal of Martin Luther to 19 states from the West Coast to the Gulf Coast to the Atlantic States. Martin is an original one-man portrayal which recounts the life of Martin Luther, but also includes a retelling of the gospel. Martin has been performed to wide acceptance in Lutheran as well as other churches in several states from coast to coast. Martin is the result of a lifelong interest, now devoted to expressing the gospel in a fresh and interesting way. Martin runs approximately one hour and ten minutes, including a ten-minute intermission. It can also be shortened to fit your time schedule. The performance is suitable for both formal and informal settings. The play can be performed instead of a regular worship service, or can be used as an adjunct to the regular service.
