Plans and futures

The Planning Group is now to be formulated and we are looking for anyone with enthusiasm for putting on creative community events to share the gospel in the Lewes area and maintain the social network the Passion Play experience evoked.

Do you have imaginative and/or practical ideas for performance, social or fund raising activities,  artistic or technical skills, financial acumen, event management interest or experience, or a simply a desire to maintain and develop a Town Passion Play for Lewes?

The commitment will be a meeting around once every six weeks to help inspire and enable agreed events to proceed. This is not a commitment for 5 years!

First informal initial meeting :  FRIDAY  25TH SEPTEMBER 7.30pm at Serena's (please email for details; we are not posting Serena's address on the web!)

Please email your interest, or send apologies if cannot make this particular date, but would like to be a part of this group - dates, times, venues for follow up meetings (to be agreed by group).

EASTER /SUMMER 2016

​Chrissie Pepper has proposed a musical/drama performance for which she is willing to compose or build on previous works - please pray for this and ways forward​.

• What were the things we learnt or could have been improved
• Are there other things to do as a Lewes Passion Play group

Dear Lewes Passion Play Supporter,

The 2015 production has now completed; bills are paid, costumes and set are stored, gratitude for the hours and hours of time and skills freely given to make the production such a success, expressed. We hope that you were able to see some of it - or perhaps might like to buy a copy of the DVD (please contact us if so).

We now need to decide how to move forward.

Revisit the Play in pictures!

The 2015 Play Gallery is almost complete, with photos from the four Plays and some behind-the-scenes ones too.

We are short of coverage from the Maundy Thursday play, particularly of Gethsemane and the Trial. If you have pictures which might be added to the Gallery, please email pp2015@informationspan.com.

However ... this is an update, and not one I expected. There appears to be a problem when viewing the Gallery with some browsers. It may display Act 1 when you try to get to Act 2. I'll test a workround in the next day or two, but in the meantime if you see this problem then try a different browser!
