2022 - Getting Ready

After a couple of challenging years (cancelled in 2020 and very limited number in 2021) we were able to have a better crowd this year. We had 1,500 ticketed entrants, plus around 100 cast and crew at the Re-enactment of our Lord's Passion this year.

There was a great deal of sewing by Lana and Clare using many metres of cloth and many hours sitting at sewing machines and cutting the pieces with help from Ariel, Rose and Dorothy.

The costumes are more durable and each group has more consistency between each member.

All speaking roles attended the Read Through four weeks before Good Friday, then everyone attended the Dress Rehearsal two weeks before and then we had Good Friday.

Now on the day it was a matter of putting on the costumes and assisting each other with the final touches.

While waiting for the start at 11am, everyone chatted amongst each other wth some nerves as more and more people started arriving through the front gate.

We asked the photographer to capture more of the before and after times so all the cast and crew could get some good memories of their time at the Re-enactment - both before, during and after the main event.

There is a lot of walking around ensuring all the props ae at the right lace before the Re-enactment begins.
