Biblical Scenes Come to Life in Rose Croix

by Ken Blake

In the Rose Croix 18° Degree, there are two scenes 
performed by the cast known as the Tableau. A tableau is a picturesque grouping of persons/objects suitably costumed and posed to represent a scene. The two scenes in the Rose Croix 18° Degree are the Sermon on the Mount and the Last Supper. The cast members are costumed and made-up to depict these events in history. Although these are not speaking parts, it is not as easy as you might think. The requirements are to be totally still with no movement what-so-ever. This includes no eye blinking or movement.
 
Many members of the Tableau cast have been involved for a number of years enjoying the camaraderie of the degree workers and just being involved. Others come into the Tableau and discover their hidden talents for the stage and build confidence to move onto more challenging roles.
 
The Tableau is a great place to begin or further your masonic journeys in the Scottish Rite Valley of Boston. If you would like more information or are interested in getting involved, contact Ill∴ Kenneth Blake, 33°.
