Passion Play

Ware thrilled to extend a heartfelt invitation to the entire school community to join us for a profoundly moving performance of the Passion of Christ. This remarkable production, brought to life by our talented students, promises to be an unforgettable experience that commemorates the Easter season.

Details of the event are as follows:

Location: School Gym @ 1pm

Date: March 28, 2024

The Passion of Christ is a timeless narrative that resonates with audiences of all ages, conveying themes of sacrifice, redemption, and love. Through powerful performances and evocative storytelling, our students will bring this poignant story to the stage with authenticity and reverence.

We encourage all members of our school community—students, parents, faculty, and staff—to come together and witness this extraordinary portrayal. Your presence will not only support our dedicated performers but also provide an opportunity for reflection and spiritual enrichment.

Please mark your calendars and join us for an afternoon of artistic expression and spiritual contemplation. Together, let us embrace the true meaning of Easter and celebrate the enduring message of hope and faith.
