Each year our church (as do many, I'm sure) produces an Easter pageant. The production requires a cast & crew of over 1000 people and a virtual menagerie of animals (horses, camels, sheep, goats, etc). The set requires 3-4 weeks to construct and then, 2-3 weeks to remove and store. The Easter Passion runs 3 weeks. It rivals many Broadway productions. Here are a couple of photos of the set. This is inside our worship center.

This looks like an interesting pagent. Well done to the crew and actors.
The bottom two pictures didn't come up for me, probably because I am on dial up.
This must be an incredible presentation.
I am in a little 100 person church so this is amazing to me.

Normally, it's played to sell-out audiences, Becky. The worship center holds 9500 people. Our usual Sunday attendance is around 5000 in the first service and more in the second service. It's a BIG church but, it's very warm & welcoming.
99% of the pageant is done by volunteers. Believe it or not, they have to turn away volunteers through auditions because the turn-out is so great. We've hired Michael O'Brien (http://www.michaelo.org/) to write some of the music and possibly be part of the Passion. Should be good :)
Wow! I can't get used to how big churches are down south. I think there is only 1 church in the area which could do something like that, but they put on a big production at christmas.
every other year we do a "living lord's supper", but it's not in the same league at all.

I've seen "Phantom of the Opera" and "Les Miserables"... both in London, Smoky. This is easily on par with those. It's amazing! C'mon down and have a look!
