ST. PADRE PIO PASSION PLAY

Fav con
Each year, St. Padre Pio Parish, presents A Musically Immersed Passion Play. This production is a beautiful way to prepare for the Easter Triduum. A traditional part of Easter, the Passion Play is steeped in history, faith and devotion and brings the Gospel readings to life. Passion plays are a dramatic source of inspiration for Catholics, a way to reflect on the events most central to our faith, and to understand them at a deeper level. The Passion Play also serves as a major fundraising event for the needs of the Parish.
 
2024 PRODUCTION: LEAD ME TO THE CROSS: A MUSICALLY IMMERSED PASSION PLAY
 
The story of Christ’s Passion is one of the most spectacular stories of all time, with Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem, the witnessing of miracles, the last supper, the Garden of Gethsemane, the arrest and trial of Jesus, the crucifixion, and finally the death and resurrection.
 
Last year’s Passion Play, The Power Of The Cross, was highly successful and was seen by over 800 people on the evening of Palm Sunday.  This year’s Passion Play is entitled Lead Me To The Cross and will be performed two nights. You can choose from Friday, March 22 at 7:30 PM or Sunday, March 24 at 7:30 PM. This is a major fundraising event for our Parish, with all proceeds going directly to the church. With a fully adult cast, high quality production value and over 20 singers and musicians, this Passion Play is not to be missed.
 
This year’s new script, brings an interesting approach to the story leading to Christ’s death and resurrection. The music, which is immersed in the show, was specifically chosen, and arranged to highlight certain features of the scenes taking place on our stage, and will evoke an emotional journey for the audience. We will recognize ourselves as followers of Jesus, and like the famous poem “Footprints In The Sand”, which plays a part in our opening scene, we will feel Christ walking beside us and lifting us up through this approach to Christ’s Passion. We hope you will join us on His journey!
 
Tickets are $25 each. There will be a 20 minute intermission. The Passion Play is not appropriate for children under the age of 7. Babes in arms are not allowed and all audience members must have a ticket.
