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 18th 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 brand new script will be
originated by a mixed professional/volunteer cast of approximately 200
actors in a 2700-seat outdoor amphitheatre.

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

Jesus (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.

Old Man (male, 100 years old): The last surviving eyewitness to the
events surrounding the ministry and life of Jesus Christ narrates this
retelling with a strong point of view, a poet's deftness, and a
survivor's pragmatism. Commanding vocal presence and ability to handle
the demands of sacred text in an engaging, authoritative style.
