After a Saturday with heavy rain and small crowds, the weather cleared and the Play went on as scheduled before those who stayed the course. Daryl, the lot attendant for Lot B had no cars, so he came on set and joined the cast as a "street person". Although he has been here for many years, he had never been in the play, so it was a new experience for him and he seemed to enjoy his newest role.
It was a pleasant evening and regardless of the small number in the audience, we do our best to perform as if every seat is full. In the 51st season of the Great Passion Play, we are facing many obstacles to being assured of a 52nd season, and so we look for ways to keep telling the same story, but try to appeal to a population which is reluctant to hear it and also expand the audience to those who need to hear it. Only God knows what the future holds for TGPP and for each of us, but most of us here, staff and volunteers, want the future to include this ministry. It would be wonderful to pass the 8 Millionth visitor level and see the message delivered to a whole new generation of people and their children and grandchildren.
The story needs to be told.....and heard. Peoples' eternal fate is at stake. The Show Must Go On.
