That raises a number of interesting questions...

Has seeing Gibson's "The Passion Of The Christ" influenced the outlook of the organizers and participants?

Do you think audiences will be comparing your group's "Passion" with the film version, and if so, to what extent?

Is Rosalinda Celentano going to make a guest cameo, and if so, could you get her autograph for me, pleeeeeeze?

On second thought, if so, could you give me the date of the performance and directions to the church? I will definitely want to be there!!!

Well, actually, I posted about something similar a few weeks back:

I don't see how audiences can help but compare our production to the film. Whether that's good or bad, only time will tell. I'm thinking about a post contrasting the two, because they are very different presentations, with different purposes.

You'll just have to show up to see if Rosalinda makes a cameo! ;-)

You've raised a number of good points in that earlier post (I really need to take some time and go back through your archives).

Ultimately, the different objectives should, I hope, have a different effect on the audience's perception. Plus, it's "live". That's always important.
