New article in the Arkansas Democrat Gazette "What's Up" magazine said it was a good year for the Passion Play. By cutting overhead and lowering prices for the public, it was the best year for the play since 1983! Revamping the play for next year, brought back the animals that were sold off last year, special effects, more professional presentation...and so on. Opening night is May 2, 2014. 80 performances  through October. Ya'll come! Interesting paragraph in the story, too. They will introduce the "Jerusalem Marketplace" which they say is an interactive exhibit that they call "Silver Dollar City in Bible Days." Hmmmmm...we shall see!
"Howdy there folks! My name is Junior Dugan, and I'll be drivin' your diving bell!"

I'm not very religious, I got my own way of going about things but I enjoyed the Passion Play every time I 've seen it.
I've likely said this before, there's been lots of plans of biblical theme parks, this place already has the a backbone for that in an unlikeliest place around if some of these folks really wanted to do a full park. Eureka is Arkansas' little San Fran. and you'll never see an interstate quality road go up there, but I could see a vastly improved Ark 23 from US 412 w Huntsville with alternating passing lanes.
