About JKB


If you think growing up with a famous sibling is difficult, trying being Larry, Jesus' Kid Brother -- he has an inferiority complex of Biblical proportions. This rollicking musical comedy follows Larry's attempts to be his own man. Helped by his best friend Barabbas, Larry searches for true love and finds it in the most unlikely and forbidden of places -- with the daughter of Pontius Pilate. This hilarious behind-the-scenes look at the New Testament features singing Jews, dancing lepers, menacing Romans, giddy disciple groupies, and an outrageous climax where Larry finally confronts his insecurities.

Jesus' Kid Brother is the hit new musical by writers Brian and Mark Karmelich. JKB premiered in Los Angeles to rave reviews and much success. The show moved from its initial Equity/Waiver debut to an Equity run opening the season at the International City Theatre in Long Beach, again to rave reviews. JKB was subsequently selected for two performances at Stephen Schwartz's Disney ASCAP Musical Theatre Workshop.


Up next for JKB -- A staged reading at the York Theatre, as part of their acclaimed Developmental Reading Series. The reading will be on Tuesday, May 25th, 2010 at 3pm.
