Capernaum Village Hosts “The Passover Experience”

WEATHERFORD, Texas - March 28, 2014 - PRLog -- WEATHERFORD, Texas – Tammy Lane Productions, creators of Mission Reality and other Christian-based productions, has once again created a fresh and innovative event to be hosted at its one-of-a-kind first century village called Capernaum, located in Weatherford. This year’s “Passover Experience” is taking place April 11th-13th and 18th-19th.

“Over the years, we’ve really been fortunate to grow and develop Capernaum into a really special place,” said Tammy Lane, creator of Capernaum Village. “That, combined with so many trained actors, makes for an event that’s as authentic as you’ll find anywhere.”

The Capernaum property, a creation of local director Tammy Lane, contains both Capernaum Village and the Majestic Statue Garden. New additions have been made over the years, and to endure a larger crowd and a more complex event, the area has undergone millions of dollars worth of general construction. The village itself contains a number of single and multilevel stone structures designed and positioned much like they would have been in the first century.

As they witness the event, visitors will see that authenticity goes far beyond the village itself. Enlisting the help of Dallas-based casting company Cast-O-Matic and Twila Barnett of the Weatherford Acting Academy, Tammy’s team has hired almost 100 actors from the Dallas/Fort Worth area to help further the looks, sounds, and feels that would’ve been experienced in this first century village.

“A realistic and genuine village like Capernaum requires actors who fit that same level of authenticity,” said Kina Bale-Reed, Casting Director and Owner of Cast-O-Matic. “Just as you would do for a film or a TV show, we spent a lot of time in the casting process making sure that each and every actor was prepared to transform themselves into a first century villager.”

As guests enter the town of Capernaum, they’ll experience an interactive walk- through that whisks you away to the era of Passover from beginning to end. Walking through the town, they’ll witness scenes that were common in the time period – roman soldiers, villagers, tax collectors, rabbis. The breathtaking pilgrimage will have them step through time into the New Testament Passover. They’ll stride into the crowded Jerusalem village through the robust stone dwellings and learn what the Bible teaches of the feast as they experience families celebrating Passover. Wrapping up the walkthrough, patrons will experience the highlight of the adventure: Going on to the upper room where they’ll observe an up-close and personal view of the reenactment of the actual Last Supper.

Outside of the village and path, guests will also have the opportunity to experience a few of the unique constructions located at Capernaum. Up the hill from the village sits a beautiful statue garden, with over 14 life-size statues designed by the late Korean sculptor Yon Sim Pak. In addition to Pak’s statues, the garden also contains an exact replica tomb. Next to the village sits the marketplace, which is located at the entrance to the property, and will contain food and refreshments each night from area restaurants, Rosa’s Café and Texas Burger.
