A Passion Play gives an account of the suffering of Jesus Christ during the last days of His life. This style of production began in the Middle Ages as a means of communicating the story to illiterate church people. Oak Valley’s version is part of a long tradition in the church & in theatre. We know that for many of you, this theatrical production will be a reminder of the work Jesus Christ was given when He was on earth 2,000 years ago. For those who have seldom heard this story, our aim is to show something of the nature and character of Jesus himself, and of the overwhelming love of His Father - a love that can touch us personally even today. Much of the dialogue is taken directly from various versions of the Holy Bible. Some fictional characters, such as the narrator, are also included to represent people who could have met Jesus. Recently, new scenes were added and some removed. We briefly touch on Jesus’ birth and childhood and then move on to His ministry and healings. The play then proceeds to Jesus’ final days on earth. Note that the events of the Passion story are condensed and incorporated in such a way that the highlights are presented. Some events may be out of sequence; some that actually occurred separately in Gospel accounts may be happening concurrently.
