They talented cast and crew have been working since January to bring the story of resurrection of Jesus to life.

Others are just starting out.
Heaven Bound Ministries brings people of all ages together for an experience they won’t forget.
This is The Capitol Theatre’s most attended production, seeing over 5,000 audience members fill the seats over the course of the weekend and it doesn’t cost a dime.
”Sometimes you read things in the Bible, and it doesn’t strike you as much, but whenever you see it, it kind of brings it to life so that you can actually feel like it’s more of a real experience.”
Joel McMillen – Playing Jesus
”The message, the comradery – We all say no matter how many churches are involved, it’s like a reunion for us too. It’s a reunion this side of heaven because we’re all going to be together one day anyway and it’s nice to get together for a musical and a musical for a good cause.”
Bob Wolfe – Playing a Fisherman
Everyone has their reasons for attending, but there’s one they can all agree upon.
”I love Jesus.”
