One of the most valuable tools on cell phones is the weather radar feature. With it you have at your instant command a map which in vivid color shows the size and severity of storms anywhere in the country or around the world. Here at the Passion Play we are very aware of the daily weather conditions and forecast for the days ahead, since our Holy Land and Play are outdoors and cover the period from 10am to 10:30pm.
Temperature and humidity are important, as well, since there is a need to stay hydrated and protected from the sun. Many of our visitors as well as employees and volunteers are of the Senior Citizen vintage and we watch carefully for those who might need assistance. It gets pretty warm and humid during June, and even more extreme in July and August and the chance for violent weather is always a possibility in this part of the country. Being on top of a mountain is also a concern when lightening is in the area.
Today has been a gorgeous day, as has the past week, but the next few days are forecast to have an increasing possibility of severe weather as the temperature and humidity climb. The weather radar right now gives no hint of what may develop, but we are "at the ready" for what may pop up and how it may impact our Friday and Saturday performances. Not much we can do, but keep an eye on the sky, check the radar apps on our phones and be prepared to don the ponchos, rain gear and get inside and under cover. Unfortunately for the cast of the Play, once we start the Play, there are no ponchos, rain gear or getting under cover and umbrellas are not part of our costume, so unless there is danger from lightening in the area, the "show must go on". There is a positive to playing in the rain........once you're wet, you can't get any wetter......so,
just stay in character and "play out the string". Stay safe, everyone.
