Cast and crew sign-up and auditions for The Great Passion Play in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, will be on Sunday, Feb. 23, on the grounds of The Great Passion Play.
Those interested in returning or becoming a member of the cast may apply between 2 p.m. and 3:30 p.m..
The 2025 season is 70 shows from Good Friday and Saturday, April 18 and 19, and resumes the first weekend of May with shows continuing Memorial Day Weekend through Saturday, Nov. 8.
Men, women, and children 5 years of age and older are needed for this year’s cast. There is a particular need for men between the ages of 18 and 55 to play the parts of apostles, priests and soldiers as well as families with children.
This magnificent production vividly portrays the final days of Christ’s earthly life. More than 200 actors are hired annually to bring the story to life in a huge outdoor setting under the beautiful Ozark night skies. If you have ever wanted to be a cast member of a worldclass theatrical production, let this be your year to apply. For the 2025 season, The Great Passion Play is receiving a massive “audio” lift (similar to a facelift, but audio-style) with a new musical score and soundtrack composed and produced by John Stanley.
TheproductionteamflewtoBudapest in August 2024 and recorded the entire new musical score with the award-winning Budapest Scoring Orchestra. The new score is currently being mixed and mastered for theater by multi-Grammy Award winning mix engineer Rob Burrell (Disney – Marvel Avengers Entertainment Entity, Josh Groban, Carrie Underwood and many others). Alongside the new musical score, the Passion Play is installing a new state-of-the-art sound system from RCF to give a fully immersed surround sound experience. This will be comparable to watching a film with normal surround sound in a movie theater versus experiencing a movie in IMAX, but to a greater degree in sound engineering.
Those who have an interest in joining this wonderful cast and who are unable to come to the cast registration are invited to call the Play before Feb. 23 at 479253-8559 between 9:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. to be considered, or you can go to GreatPassionPlay.org/applications.html to download the required documents.
In conjunction with cast registration, applications will be received, and interviews conducted for the following positions: food service, Holy Land Tour actors, gift shop workers, maintenance, ushers, bus drivers, docents (museum guides), reservations and sales, and landscaping/gardening positions on the grounds of The Great Passion Play on Sunday, Feb. 23.
