The BARNWELL PASSION PLAY began in
1995 as another major production of
Barnwell, SC. This annual play has seen
people from 8 states in attendence. The life
of Jesus is portrayed very vividly from His
first miracle, His death, burial, resurrection,
and even His Ascention into heaven.
James Cliver portrayed Jesus in the 1998
presentation (pictured right). When the
music, drama, and technical teams combine
forces for this event it numbers well over
100 people. The 1998 cast members
(pictured below) enthusiastically put much
energy into this multi county event. Much
detail is put into the special effects. Full
costuming, Live flaming torches, over
10,000 watts of light power, Smoke effects,
an actual simulated Ascention, powerful
songs, and music interludes are just to
name a few. Unlike theaters, The setting
here puts the audience right into the drama,
because of the close view and the drama
spilling into the isles of the audience.

The Barnwell Passion Play at
Hagood is one of only 4 venues
that actually have an ascention
during live performance. Others
simulate an ascention but this one
is unique. In 1997 one
commentator asked, "How did you
put the image of Jesus on the wall
and make it look like he was
ascending?" If not for the vision,
planning, and engineering..., the
ascention would be just an image
on a wall to some. Thanks to men
and women with vision and
determination!
