Ethno-cultural mandate or ethno-cultural casting statement:
THE CANADIAN BADLANDS PASSION PLAY is one of Canada's largest outdoor theatrical events. Now in its 21th season, the company annually depicts the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ in dramatic form. An epic story told on an epic scale, this year's production features a creative retelling of the Gospel of John.  The script will be originated by a mixed professional/volunteer cast of approximately 200 actors in a 2700-seat outdoor amphitheater.

Additional information:
Seeking physically-able actors comfortable working with live animals and performing outdoors in a large-scale production.

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.

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.

The speaking roles include a number of prominent Pharisees (Nicodemus, Joseph of A, Abner), the disciples (John, Peter, Philip, Nathanael), the Lazarus family (Mary, Martha, Lazarus), Jesus' family (Mother, brother James and family), Pilate, Herod, John the Baptist, Mary Magdalene, the Adulterous Woman, the Samaritan Woman, several key healings (man at pool of Bethesda, man born blind), and a number of key crowd speaking roles.

Equity members will be seen first at all open audition calls. Equity members cast in this production will be engaged under an Equity form of contract. CAEA members: please bring your membership card to the audition.
