The St. John Passion Play

The St. John Passion Play Established in 1918, The St. John Passion Play is the oldest passion play in the United States. The cast and crew is entirely volunteer.

The cast and crew are composed of individuals of all ages, from all walks of life and from different denominational philosophies; the entire cast and crew are entirely voluntary. Each year they strive to add new authenticity to the play and give it greater spiritual impact. The play is typically performed during the season of Lent with the final performance on Palm Sunday. In the past individual s

cenes have also been performed on Good Friday. All performances are FREE AND OPEN TO ALL; we do accept free-will donations and non-perishable food items to give to local food pantries. A portion of the donations we receive are in turn, donated to our host churches where we perform as well as to various charities' such as a back-pack for school children program and Haiti relief.
