A performance is considered complete once Jesus has been sentenced by Pilate. In a storm, we do not use the crosses for the safety of our actors. As an outdoor production the Badlands Passion Play is performed in wet conditions, but there may be times when we need to pause the show for a short time to allow weather to pass. If it appears that unfavourable conditions (lightning, wind, etc.) will develop, we will cancel the show and advise you to move to your vehicle. For the safety of all, please exit in a controlled manner.
If the show is cancelled before Jesus is sentenced by Pilate you have the following options:
- Request ticket coupons for another performance this season.
- Request ticket coupons for a performance next season.
- Donate the cost of your tickets to the Badlands Passion Play Society for a tax receipt. We are a nonprofit charity.
You will be contacted by email by the Box office and provided with an online form to fill out your preference.
