Drumheller, Alberta, — Friday, Saturday and Sunday July 21-23 are the final three plays for this year’s memorable version of the Canadian Badlands Passion Play that celebrated its 150th performance on Canada’s 150th birthday.
“This year we pulled out all the stops to bring a fresh perspective to the story based on the Gospel of Luke,” says Executive Director, Vance Neudorf. “Our costume department has created over 300 new costumes. The scenic arts team has built striking new set pieces and our five-member team of directors has utilized an innovative approach that will take our audience inside the world of the character’s mind on stage through the process of voice-overs.
According to Artistic Director, Royal Sproule, “We’ve never had a Jesus quite like this before. Giovanni’s portrayal of Jesus brings an intriguing perspective to the traditional story.”
Tickets for the remaining three shows from July 21-23 are available online at CanadianPassionPlay.com or by calling 403-823-2001.
Every Friday performance is ‘Seniors Day’ with special upgrades and offers.
