"A ROSE UPON THE ALTAR"
The Memphis Scottish Rite Bodies proudly sponsor and present this beautiful and inspiring Masonic play by Carl Claudy. Brother Claudy gave the Masonic Service Association a number of his plays and permission for this and all performances is granted by that body. We are deeply indebted to Bro. Claudy for his love of our great fraternity.
The cast is made up of Scottish Rite Ritualists and contains some of the finest performers in the State of Tennessee.
The play is made available without charge to any Masonic affiliated group desiring it. This is just one of our ways of cooperating with Blue Lodge Masonry in the advancement of our beloved Fraternity.
If you have not been attending your Blue Lodge, let us urge you to give them your whole-hearted support. They need you and you need them!
THE SCOTTISH RITE PLAYERS
The group was formed in 1970 for the purpose of presenting this play to our brethren. The name "Scottish Rite Players" was given them by Dr. Joseph C. Mobley, 33o and Past Grand Master, who was one of their most ardent boosters.
The cast has changed a number of times over the more than thirty five years and has performed the play more than 300 times. Ill. Jim E. McDaniel was the play director almost from the beginning and is currently Director Emeritus.
This play is performed for three reasons:
1. To promote Freemasonry in general!
2. To assist in securing petitions for the Scottish Rite.
3. To inform everyone of the charitable endeavors of the Scottish Rite for the children.
A donation will be collected at the conclusion of the play to support the Scottish Rite Childhood Language Disorder Clinic at the University of Tennessee - Memphis.
