Weather is a big factor here at TGPP because so much of our activity takes place outside. The Play takes place in an outdoor amphitheater and the Holy Land Tour takes place in outdoor venues with minimal protection from the weather. Mostly we are concerned about the hot and humid stuff, but in early May and mid-to-late October we have to watch for the cold stuff. Yesterday we experienced the coldest performance day of the season.
While we basked in 80 degree weather on Monday, we knew yesterday would be about 30 degrees colder with mid 40's expected for the Play last night. During the day we bundled up as if it were Colorado in January, last night the Roman guards wore outer capes, socks appeared on sandaled feet and every blanket in the PP arsenal was used by our audience as they watched the performance. The only hearty ones appeared to be the two thieves and Jesus who were bare chested during the crucifixion. The heat was on in our motor home last night and will be likewise tonight. Been months since we needed that.
But, fear not, Friday and Saturday we expect mid-80's during the day with overnight temps back in the 60's. The prospect looms of high 30's next Monday night, but it looks like a see-saw before and after that, so we go one day at a time, prepared for whatever comes our way. A month from now we expect to be in Colorado, with the same uncertainty anticipated. Not much we can do but grin and brrrrrr it. In all of it,..........hot or cold........we are blessed. Thank You, Lord.
