Prologue
When the "Prologue" begins, the sound of thunder is heard and video of a mixture of fire and smoke and
lightning in
the sky
appears on the large video screen onstage as shown below in Model 1. Following this, the angel Gabriel
appears from within the fire and smoke looking out at the live
audience as
shown below
in
Model 2 and begins
speaking to the audience from the dialogue below. Models 1-14 below
show the action that takes place in the "Prologue" video which plays on
the large
screen onstage.
Gabriel: I’ve been here from the beginning and have seen it all. Sin has ravaged mankind since its birth and the curse of death has defiled all creation. Through the ages, man waged war and I witnessed firsthand the slaughter of hundreds of millions of people as man pursued his lust for power and turned away from the face of God. As the pages of history turned, pestilence and famine befriended war and countless more millions perished. But nothing rivaled the death and destruction of the final seven years. The war, pestilence and famine of the past were merely labor pangs foreshadowing the birth of the most wicked age in man’s history. But there was a light amidst all the darkness, a man with a message of hope who fought evil. This is his story. This is “The Unveiling.”-(When Gabriel begins speaking the second sentence from the dialogue above, video of Eve standing by the the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil in the Garden of Eden with a piece of fruit from the tree in her hand starts playing superimposed on the fire and smoke background as shown below in Model 3. In addition, Satan(the serpent) is seen in the video looking down and speaking to Eve from the tree as shown below in Model 3. As Gabriel says sentence 2 from the dialogue above, Eve brings the fruit to her mouth and takes a bite out of it. Shortly thereafter, the tree, Eve and the serpent wither falling on to the ground until they are no longer visible in the video. Immediately thereafter, Gabriel starts saying the third sentence in the dialogue above and video of the graves in Normandy begins playing on the fire and smoke background as shown below in Model 4. From this point forward, video clips of the images shown below in Models 5-10 appear on the fire and smoke background with Gabriel in the sequence shown in the models below in sync with the audio that's playing as Gabriel speaks. Following the nuclear explosion as shown below in Model 10, Gabriel fades out and the video on the large screen onstage shows just the fire and smoke background as shown below in Model 11. As Gabriel continues speaking the dialogue above, the fire and smoke background on the video screen onstage starts to dissipate and a new image begins to emerge on the large video screen onstage as shown below in Models 12 and 13. By the time Gabriel finishes the dialogue above, the new image is seen on the large video screen onstage, the music accompanying the "Prologue" video ends and the sound of someone playing electric guitar in the distance begins to be heard. The new video image is a distant shot of a house and the main character of "The Unveiling" Joshua Wells is in his upstairs bedroom playing guitar and can be seen in the large window above the garage as shown below in Model 14. The large digital clock atop the live stage in Model 14 shows it's 7:00 P.M. on Oct. 31, 2018. Click on the play button below Model 14 to see a video presentation of "Prologue." Keep in mind, Gabriel and the images appearing on the fire and smoke background will be actual video and not just still photographic images as they are in the presentation. After you view the presentation, you will need to return to this page to continue reading "The Unveiling." The action continues uninterrupted with the first act of the musical which is "Onstage." Click on the "next" button at the bottom of this page to go to the act "Onstage." )
