[edit] Biography

Brad Sherrill is an Atlanta-based professional actor and performer who gained recognition beginning in 2003 with his off-Broadway and subsequent national touring performance of The Gospel of John. [1] Between 2001 and 2007, Sherrill’s one-person live performance of the fourth New Testament gospel (which Sherrill memorized and performs in its 20,000 word entirety)[2] appeared over 450 times in cathedrals, churches and professional theaters across the United States, Canada and Europe [3] (including a six-week run off-Broadway at New York City’s historic Lamb’s Theatre in 2003.)[4] Other professional theater runs of The Gospel of John include Chicago (at the Royal George Theatre, 2007)[5], Washington D.C. (at Theater Alliance, 2002)[6] , Toronto (at Brookstone Theatre, 2005) [7] and Atlanta (at Theatre in the Square, 2001 and Aurora Theatre, 2007.)[8]

At The Gospel of John's Washington D.C. premiere in 2002, The Washington Post stated: “It's not just the intensity of Sherrill's performance that…brings the story home. It's also the simple stroke of genius in performing the entire gospel, unadapted, as drama. Passion, longing, envy, greed, ambition, intrigue and betrayal -- it's all here, and it is riveting.” [9]

Sherrill was an Atlanta-based professional theater actor for 15 years before developing his one-man performance now seen by thousands worldwide. [10]
