Please consider joining OddyFest for a FREE Good Friday program entitled "On
Christianity", which takes a critical historical look at the rise of the

Greenfield and "Prester John" by Ian Adler.  Expect a few Oddy surprises
along the way!

The program starts at *7 p.m. this Friday, April 2nd, in the Brody-Nelson
MTG Room of the Cleveland Heights Library (2345 Lee Road*).  Read on for
details!


*On Christianity: OddyFest #20*

* *

*Just in time for Easter, OddyFest critically investigates the development
of the world’s most popular religion in this Swiftian-titled program*



*“Herod at Lugdunum” by Matt Greenfield*



The title character, Herod Antipas, attempts to justify his role in the
demise of Jesus Christ and John the Baptist when he encounters a new
Christian convert in the 1st century in modern-day France.  All poor Herod
wanted was a “show”, and that’s exactly what he’s going to get—in the form
of a mental breakdown.



*“Prester John” by Ian Adler*



1171 A.D.: Philip, physician to Pope Alexander III, is sent off to the East
to seek out the mythical “Indian” Christian king of the title who will
hopefully help unite the world under Christianity’s banner.  What he finds
will change his perception of himself, knowledge, history, and faith.

*Show starts at 7:00*
