This play is a required must see for anyone staying or simply passing through Eureka Springs. Sound was great, cast was supurb! Just a wonderful play. Its about two hours long and extends to about 10:30PM and on a cooler night, one might onsider a light jacket. They do rent blankets for $1. Well worth that.

The repetitious, canned sound track of sothern drawls became distracting and embarrasing after about 45 minutes. The setting and costumes were perfect. Re-record and get back in business!!

This was our fourth time to visit the Passion Play and it was as uplifting as the very first time we visited many years ago. Right after our visit we got word that they were shutting down after many years of operation. We have since heard that some organizations raised enough money to keep it going. I hope this is... More

As Christians we enjoied this tremendously. There is also a bible museum onsite that was excellent. There are not many palces you can go and experience an outside play. Carry water on hot days. I look forward to returning and seeing again.

I attended in either 2009 or 2010 and was so impressed I brought someone else in 2011. Since I'm in a wheelchair I sat WAY back, but I don't believe I missed a syllable. The sound system and accoustics were very good. Instead of stopping periodically to change the scenery everything flowed smoothly with the lights simply showing a different... More
