The story of Christ’s life will be presented to a new beat this summer at St. Anne’s Catholic Church on July 31\. The performance entitled “The Carpenter,” will be retold using a blend of narration, jazz, gospel and traditional storytelling techniques.

The production will feature the 20-voice harmony choir, including the Spiritual Roots Quartet, numerous soloists and narrators backed by the Howlett Smith Trio, comprised of piano, bass and drums.

The musical will begin at 7 p.m. at St. Anne’s, located at 2017 Colorado Ave. Admission is $10 for adults and free for children under 12\. For more information, call (310) 829-4411.
