2025 Moogerah Passion Play Season Review

We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to our incredible cast and crew, who have given their time, passion, and commitment over the past four months. Despite the many challenges—from unpredictable weather to demanding rehearsals—you’ve helped bring this year’s Passion Play to life. With joy and gratitude, we welcomed between 4,000 and 5,000 audience members across five performances.

From the disruptions caused by Cyclone Alfred to the scattered showers that limited outdoor rehearsals, the journey has not been without its hurdles. We are especially thankful to our local community for stepping in when needed. In particular, we express our appreciation to:

• Fassifern Community Centre (Carinity), for generously providing air-conditioned rehearsal space during the early heat of the season

• Fassifern Uniting Church Boonah, for the use of their space and equipment—allowing our cast to come together in fellowship and enjoy a high-quality Passion Play film that, while different in scale and funding, helped inspire and encourage our team

We are also deeply grateful to our generous supporters:

• Sandra at Oppy’s Fruit & Veg, for donating 25 JAP pumpkins

• Veg4Pro, for their contribution of onions for our catering team

• Bendigo Bank, for ongoing sponsorship and the provision of a gazebo

• Scenic Rim Regional Council, for gazebos, bins, road maintenance, and grant support throughout the year

• Murray at CPC Productions, for donating a full Meyer sound system, cabling, 16 LED Prolights, two smoke machines, and a 16-microphone system

A heartfelt thank you also goes out to the many local volunteers, church groups, and individuals who gave their time, energy, and donations before and during the production. Without you, our 2025 season simply would not have been possible.

To our incredible audience—thank you for your generous donations, both leading up to and during the performance nights. Your support is vital and deeply appreciated. Without you, there would be no Moogerah Passion Play.

As we now take a well-earned rest, we look ahead with anticipation—planning not only for next year’s season but also for other potential events to bring the story and spirit of the Passion Play to more people in our community.

With gratitude,
The Moogerah Passion Play Committee

🐾 Important Site Policy Reminder:
We understand how much your pets mean to you, but as our venue is a dedicated Fauna and Flora area, pets (including dogs and cats) are not permitted on-site. This policy is enforced at local, state, and federal levels as part of our lease agreement. Failure to comply can result in penalties for both the Moogerah Passion Play and the pet owner. To avoid any issues, we kindly remind all patrons and visitors that this policy is strictly enforced.

If you bring a pet, you will be asked to leave. Please ensure your furry friends stay at home.

If your pet struggles with being left alone, we recommend arranging alternative care while you attend the performance. If this isn’t possible, please contact us—we’re happy to reschedule your tickets or cancel your booking if needed.

🎭 PERFORMANCE 2025 – WEATHER UPDATE 🌤️

In the event of adverse weather, we are prepared to make any necessary announcements regarding changes or cancellations.

As of Thursday, 10th April 2025, the current weather outlook for the upcoming season of the Moogerah Passion Play appears favourable, with no indication that any performances will need to be cancelled or postponed.

There is, however, the occasional chance of light rain, so we recommend bringing wet weather gear just in case, as all performances are held outdoors at our beautiful Lake Theatre.

Stay tuned to our official channels for any updates—and most importantly, we look forward to celebrating with you!

Blessings,
The Moogerah Passion Play Committee
