About the Passion Play:

- The Canadian Badlands Passion Play tells an epic story of faith, hope

& love based on the life of Christ. It is performed on Canada’s largest

outdoor stage, with a company formed of professional and

semi-professional actors (supplemented by volunteer actors), working

with a professional crew.

Other Important Information for Potential Cast Members:

- We are an outdoor venue that rehearses and performs outside in all

kinds of weather conditions, and on all kinds of terrain.

- Potential cast members need to be comfortable using our large stage

both physically and vocally as we use the acoustics of the natural

amphitheater rather than microphones during performances.

- Singing will be required for most of the cast. If you are new to singing,

please don't hesitate to audition as all vocal abilities are welcome!

- Show calls are earlier and longer than indoor venues, as all business

like fight calls and any additional stage prep must be completed

before one hour to showtime.

About the Amp:

located in the Canadian Badlands. Home to Canada’s largest

outdoor stage, our 2,500-seat outdoor amphitheatre and indoor

Lightfest: Winter in the Badlands; outdoor opera and much more.

sustainable community through performance events (with economic,

produce, create, and host events; enable arts education, and promote

tourism - all based on our values of community, creation and

celebration.
