Northern Manhattan’s UP Theater Company celebrates its 15th Season with the world premiere of “Bread of Life” by Frank Pagliaro, directed by Leslie Kincaid Burby.
We may know the story of St. Peter, but what about the family he left behind? “Bread of Life” tells the original story of a family in Bethsaida, fractured by the Messianic message of a mysterious carpenter from Nazareth, and the fallout of fanaticism.
30 AD. The midst of Roman occupation. A mysterious messiah roams ancient Galilee. His startling message leads a father away from home, leaving his wife and son to deal with a tragic upheaval. “Bread of Life” examines the costs of religious radicalism in the context of political oppression and domestic discipline.
Featuring:
Jesse Castellanos*, Laura Fois*, Cameron Mark Russell, Miguel Reis, Nikaury Rodriguez*.

With a ship’s-horn power voice & irresistible stage presence, Nani writes new songs in the endangered Ladino language, a dialect of Spanish spoken by Jews of the Spanish diaspora for centuries. Her fascinating migration mix seeps into her songwriting, fusing the sounds of the marketplace with Flamenco drama. Nani learned Ladino from her Moroccan grandmother in hiding, as her father forbade them to speak Ladino at home.
Winner Eurovision for Minority Languages 2024, her music was documented for the Library of Congress in 2023
Concert will be followed by light refreshments
