Weather Policy
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.
- 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.

Photography during the performance is strictly prohibited as it is disruptive to our cast and guests. Do not bring professional photography equipment including tripods, selfie sticks, long lenses, or drones of any kind.
OUR CAST AND CREW
After months of planning, the Badlands Passion Play is truly a community effort.
A professional theatre crew arrives each spring to mount the production alongside a core of professional actors. Volunteers from every background spend weeks rehearsing on weekends to prepare for the stage. Hundreds more show up on performance days to help with parking, accessible golf carts, ushering, and concessions. And many others make it all possible through their generous donations.
Stat tuned for the 2026 program.
