The Events Team in the Priesthood and Family Department of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is inviting adults and families (with children ages 7 and older) to participate in the 2022 production of “Savior of the World: His Birth and Resurrection” in the Conference Center Theater in Salt Lake City.
“Savior of the World” is a two-hour musical production and service opportunity based on the events surrounding the birth and Resurrection of Jesus Christ. It was first performed in 2000 for the inauguration of the Church’s Conference Center Theater.
Latter-day Saint actors, members of other Christian faiths, and individuals from all races and ethnic groups are encouraged to audition. Cast members are chosen, in part, for their theatrical ability, but directors are also seeking those with a desire to share their witness of Jesus Christ. The more than 100 speaking and singing parts are recast every year, bringing new participants to the production.
