Background
Each year there is
a new script written. While telling the events of the week of the
Death and Resurrection of Jesus, we try to also, tell the story or
stories of other biblical characters whose lives were affected by
Jesus. For example, one year, we featured the Roman Soldier who
confessed that Jesus was the Son of God, and another year we
featured Peter and Judas and the choices they made regarding
accepting forgiveness from Jesus. We believe that what Jesus did
for us is life changing, and that in these stories, someone
attending may find that Jesus can change their life as well.
Musically, the
drama features full cast singing, solo and small group singing, as
well as different types of dance. We may repeat a few songs from
year to year, but the search is always on for new music to make the
whole event fresh for the cast and the audience.
For the church,
itself, the play joins a group of people together in a great way.
The cast is usually around 100 people. Then you add the band, the
tech, sound and lighting, greeters, ushers, people who help with
makeup, food, etc, etc. it really draws our church community
together. Casting and music auditions start in January of each
year, and with 2-3 rehearsals a week following through to the 3
dress rehearsals and 9 performances, people spend a lot of time
together. When the performances are over, everyone feels like a
family.
If you’ve never
seen the drama before, we invite you to join us. It is our hope, as
a church, that this drama would help people to connect with God in a
real way, and it is our privilege to do have been able to do this
for so many years.
