Rehearsals have begun for the Passion Play 2012, but there are still some fantastic opportunities for speaking and non-speaking male roles.

Also, anyone wishing to be involved in collective ‘crowd scenes’ are welcome to join rehearsals from 18th March.

Please contact Assistant Director, Emily Swain at emily@soulbythesea.info for more information or to get involved.

Don’t miss out of this great opportunity!

That’s right, the event schedule for Saturday the 7th and Sunday the 8th is set and we’re pleased to provide this press release:

“We have a vibrant, exciting and varied programme free of charge for all ages to enjoy. The Saturday line-up will begin at 10.30am with a bang! There will be a whole range of children’s stage-led activities as well as bouncy castles for the younger members of the family to enjoy!

The day will also host the South Oxhey Choir which you may recognise from when they performed on television with Gareth Malone. Also performing later in the day will be a wide range of musical artists, from rappers to bands to soloists.

Sunday will host the greatly anticipated Passion of Christ production. Building on the success of last year’s seafront passion play, this year’s Passion of Christ brings together people from an even greater mix of backgrounds and nationalities including local actors and musicians as well as theatre professionals. This production will be a tremendously moving and inspirational experience which you will most certainly not want to miss.

With previous success to their credit, this year’s Soul by the Sea event promises to be a fun packed weekend of laughter and celebration and we look forward to seeing you there!”
