Jesus understudy (male, 33 years old): The rightful heir to the created world arrives on earth to find his creation does not recognize him. As he seeks to restore an ancient kingdom, he must confront the cultural power sources of his time and the age-old human condition. Stage combat experience essential.

Dark Pharisee - principal. 25-65 yrs. Leader of the religious/political Pharisees, the dark Pharisee relentlessly tracks down Jesus of Nazareth, declaring him a dangerous false prophet and bringing down the full measure of the law against him, to have him publicly executed.

The Canadian Badlands Passion Play relies on it's amazing group of paid and volunteer actors to make the Passion Play happen. You can be part of the show as a paid or volunteer actor with a speaking or non-speaking role. Nearly every character featured in the Gospel of John is present in our script.
