Mesa Easter Pageant runs April 9-12, 15-19
“Jesus the Christ,” an annual, outdoor musical dramatization of “the greatest story ever told,” will be presented in downtown Mesa each evening April 9 through April 12, and April 15 through April 19.
A beloved community tradition since 1938, the pageant is a community celebration of God’s love in sending His only begotten Son to the entire world, “that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life” (John 3:16).
This family-friendly musical stage production comes to life with music, dance, drama, live animals and state-of-the-art special effects. A cast of nearly 500 performers depict powerful and poignant moments of the life of Jesus Christ including His humble birth, His healing miracles, His walk on the raging Sea of Galilee, His raising the dead, His crucifixion on the cross, and His glorious resurrection!
The soundtrack for “Jesus the Christ: The Mesa Easter Pageant” was composed and produced by local composer and artist Rob Gardner and performed by the London Symphony Orchestra and Spire Chorus. The soundtrack is available for free listening on: Youtube, Spotify, música de manzana, Pandora, y música amazónica.
All are welcome to experience this FREE 70-minute program beginning on Wednesday, April 9, through Saturday, April 12; and Tuesday, April 15, through Saturday, April 19. Each performance begins at 8 p.m. on the north lawn of the Mesa Arizona Temple, 101 S. LeSueur in Mesa.
