The Canadian Badlands Passion Play has put out the call to professional actors and casual thespians both to join the epic production this summer.
There are a variety of roles waiting to be filled, from high profile roles to non-speaking and other small roles. The latter do not even require an audition.
This year will mark 19 years of production. During that time, the play has grown to be one of Canada’s largest annual outdoor theatrical events.
The Passion Play depicts the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. To tell that story the production needs roughly 200 professional and volunteer actors/actresses.
Each year, actors, singers, musicians, and even entire families join the play.
The Passion Play will run from July 13 to 22, with both evening and afternoon performances.
There will be a few changes this year, including changes to the script.
All skill levels are welcome to apply to become involved. For more information visit www.canadianpassionplay.com or call 1-403-823-2001. To book an audition, email Ailsa Birnie at pplayproduction@me.com.
Auditions in Drumheller will take place on Sunday, February 26, at the Passion Play site, 605 17th St. SW.
