CALLING LOCAL ACTORS! Could you be part of The Hereford Passion? Hereford Cathedral is casting for its forthcoming production of The Hereford Passion (March 2026), with rehearsals beginning in January. We are seeking actors for a wide range of roles — and especially someone to play the pivotal role of Jesus . Rehearsals will be held twice a week from mid-December/early January, though not all actors will be required at every rehearsal. Both The Hereford Nativity (November 2025) and The Hereford Passion (March 2026) will be performed inside the stunning setting of Hereford Cathedral, following the huge success of The Passion in 2024. If you are interested in taking part, or would like to recommend someone, please contact: James Pacey 📧 james.pacey@herefordcathedral.org 075950 353 42

There is a performance of the Passion Play in Hereford next Saturday 12th March
