Performances

are scheduled for March 24, 25, 30 and 3l, and April 1, 6, 7 and 8 at

the Atlanta Civic Center, 395 Piedmont Ave., NE, in Atlanta. The matinee

performance on Saturday, March 31, will be interpreted for the deaf and

special seating will be available.

Each year,

more than 43,000 people from all over the United States attend the Atlanta

performance, which is presented by a cast of more than 250 actors with

a total of over 750 people involved in the production.

"We invite

you to be a part of this powerful and inspiring musical drama that takes

you back 2,000 years to the time of our Lord Jesus Christ," a spokesperson

said. "Relive with us the events surrounding the life of Christ.

Observe the men chosen to be his disciples. See the miracles Jesus performed

during his ministry and the lives that were changed. Experience the suffering

and pain Christ went through as He was mocked, beaten, and crucified.

Feel the joy of His friends when they realized He had risen."

Although the

scriptural truths in the play remain the same, the script and music change

from year to year. "You will be enthralled at the beautifully painted

sets," the spokesperson continued, " the authentic biblical

costumes, the dramatic use of lights, the live orchestra, and the glorious

sound of the choruses."

Ticket prices

are $18 for seating in the loge, orchestra or deaf section, $14 for box

seats with limited visibility and dress circle, and $8 for balcony seats.

Orders for best seats will be processed on a first-come, first-served

basis. Mail orders will be processed in order of postmark date.

No photography,

audio or video taping will be allowed and no children under six years

of age will be admitted, due to the length of the performance, the sacredness

of the play, and the vivid portrayal of Christ's death. There are no group

discounts.
