A Scene From The “Passion Play”
World Famous “PaPlay"
Be Presented In Macon Jan. 15-18
The World Famous
Production, Val Balfour’s
Original American
Version Oberammergau
Passion Play will be
presented at The Grand
Opera House on Jan. 15,
16,17 and 18 at 8 p.m. with
the support of the Macon
Arts Council.
This production is
believed to be the only
touring professional
passion play in the world
today. The play, first
presented in 1953, was
based by Val Balfour and
his associates on the
almost 400 year old
German version of the
Oberammergau Passion
Play which is presented
every ten years in the
Bavarian Village. When
the Black Plague was
sweeping through all of
Europe eradicating
people by the thousands,
the villagers of
Oberammergau made a
vow to God that they
would present a story of
the Lord periodically in
Thanksgiving if He would
preserve them from this
terrible scourge. The
plague ceased in the
village and with the
exception of the two
World Wars the villagers
have presented the
Passion Play ever since.
The Balfour produc
tion, using modern
theatre techniques,
colorful lighting and
authentic, breath-taking
and inspiring presen
tation of the greatest
story ever told, bringing
out the political aspects
of the time, makes the
play a timely page of
history sensitive to the
feelings of all people.
Thousands of people
travel to Strasburg,
Virginia in the summer
where the play is
presented under the stars
in an outdoor setting, but
the Valfour family and
producers, in keeping
with Val Balfour's
wishes, continue to send
the play on tour to
provide the entire
country with today's
finest family en
tertainment.
Pontius Pilate, Simon
Peter, John, Judas and a
score of others appear
exactly as they are en
visioned. All 26 scenes
have a richness of color
that would appeal to the
old masters. One of the
most effective scenes is
the Last Supper which in
its composition is pat
terned after the famous
Leonardo Di Vinci
painting.
The Court of King
Herod is breath taking in
its splendor and
elaborateness and is only
one of the many spec
tacular scenes of the
Perry Chapel A.M E.
Church cordially invites
everyone to worship with
them on the second
Sunday at 11;30 a.m. Rev.
McGill, pastor.
Mr. and Mrs. Solomon
Kendrick had dinner for
her family December
29th Those attending
were Mrs. Frankie
Tuggle and family of
Warner Robins; Mrs.
Sarah Hudson and
daughter and Mrs.
Yvonne Driver of W.
Palm Beach, Fla., Mrs.
Mattie Releford of
Kathleen and Douglas
Little of Miami,
Thought for the week:
The worthwhile man is
one who never quits, who
keeps right on until the
task is done, who never
knows it if success he’s
missed because he is too
busy keeping on. He may
have failed many a time.
Passion Play. Lavish
costumes of this Biblical
period, highlighted by
many special effects are
responsible for the fame
which this production
enjoys in the world today.
The production has
been banned many times
throughout its history by
Fredrick The Great,
Napoleon and Hitler;
however, the play has
survived and attracted
massive crowds.
The American com
pany, organized by Val
Balfour in the early 50’s
features a carefully
translated version of the
original German and
Latin words.
The entire play, which
covers the lust seven
days Christ was on earth,
is given a feeling of truth
and pulls the onlooker
onto the stage and over
the footlights to par
ticipate in the events of
2000 years ago. Although
it is the best known story

in the world, each scene
is a crescendo toward the
unbearable climax of the
crucifixion which is
heartrending and
terrifying at the same
time and keeps the
audience tense with
anxiety.
There is luminosty to
each scene due to the
elaborate lighting which
contributes im
measurably to the beauty
and drama. The chalice
in the Last Supper scene
glows with living fire as
the lights fade and the
room is left deserted by
disciples. The chalice is
made of a single piece of
drawn brass from
Holland, and its
mysterious light leaves a
memorable impression
on the audience.

Measuring Up
Everyday con
versations with friends
leave me with something
to think about.
One such conversation
revolved around the topic
of feeling nervous
when performing before
an audience.
Suggestion was that an
unpaid performance
would naturally be more
relaxed than a salaried
position since payment
would involve more
expectations.
The reasoning sounded
logical at the time.
However, the thought
became a haunting one.
The more I dwelt on the
subject, the more
Ethelyn N. Clerkley and
Mr. and Mrs. Mike
Harden, had as their
guest his sisters, brother
and brother, in-law, Mr.

discontent I was of
having previously agreed
with the theory.
Giving freely and
unselfishly of ourselves,
or receiving financial
compensation, should not
enter into the picture.
God expects no more
than our best. We should
expect no less.
Pleasing Him at all
times should be our goal.
We will then have the
security of knowing we
are measuring up to that
which is expected of us.
“My soul, wait thou
only upon God; for my
expectation is from him”.
