For 50 years The Living Word Outdoor Drama has shared the good news of Jesus Christ. Designed for the theatrical telling of the last days of Christ, the Living Word Outdoor Drama offers a stunning and breath-taking drama of the life and death of Jesus Christ. The “Greatest Story Ever Told” unfolds for audiences on a spectacular 400-foot panoramic amphitheater and is considered America’s most authentic re-creation of Old Jerusalem.
The drama is a nationally recognized outdoor theater where the audience is drawn into the dramatic story through lighting, special effects, sound and authentic costumes. Live animals are also used in the production, including a donkey and an authentic horse-drawn Roman chariot.
It is the only drama of its kind that invites the audience and visiting groups to be a part of the performance. Audience members can participate as an ‘extra’ for the evening and experience the Passion of Christ in a very close and personal way.
2024 SEASON DATES: Performances take place on Friday evenings only June 14-September 27, 2024. (No performances will take place on July 5 or August 20, 2024.)
