PASSION PLAY
The curtain came down on Passion Play 2018 on Easter Sunday night after four amazing performances by cast and choir. The Passion Play committee extends sincere thanks to all those people who came to the performances and supported us over the four nights. Thanks also to all 138 people involved in the entire production, cast, stage crew, choir and musical directors, artist, painters and set designers, costume and make up personnel, all front of house personnel, door, raffles, programmes, shop, ushers, ticket sellers, car park attendants, lighting and sound engineers and tea makers.
Thanks also to those that gave donations for the raffle, bread and cakes for tea and donations to the show itself. Thanks to newspapers, newsletters and radio for publicity, thanks also to businesses in the locality for giving us parking spaces and local bus for taking people to their cars in outlying car park.
Last, but by no means least a sincere thanks to our wonderful director, Michael Stafford, who went beyond the call of duty to ensure that Passion Play 2018 was an outstanding production.
