About Us
Poole Community Passion Play is a community theatre group whose core purpose is to perform a Passion Play ‘Through the Eyes of a Child‘ biennially in St. Peter’s Church and Parkstone United Reform Church. Under the ‘PCPP’ umbrella other events occur during the course of the year including a Christmas Nativity, other projects and socials.
Although ‘Through the Eyes of a Child’ tells the story of the Passion of Christ (The Death of Christ) and it’s relevance today, the group is completely open to everyone – faith and non-faith, all ages and abilities.
If you are interested in becoming involved please go to CONTACT and get in touch with us. Joining the group is a great opportunity to meet others and be involved in a real community event.
