Within minutes of calling for volunteers, eager beavers filled up the cast list and pledged to help with backstage work.
Meleena Jane Winson, 38, who is director for the play, said parishioners at Church of Our Lady of Good Health in Parit Buntar, Perak, responded by taking up some 40 roles, including that of Jesus Christ and backstage helpers.“Our parishioners are deeply passionate about being part of the Passion play,” she said during a full dress rehearsal at the church.
“I also have to carry a 60kg life-sized wooden cross and wear a crown made of lemon tree thorns to make the play more realistic,” he said, adding that he hoped the play would touch the hearts of church-goers, especially the younger generation. Selvanathan Sebastian, 58, who plays the role of the high priest, said he was impressed with the parishioners’ hard work and cooperation to make it a success.
Father Martin says he is encouraged seeing the parishioners’ enthusiasm in wanting to be involved in church activities.
