Description
The Black Hills Passion Play ran for 69 years. It drew tens of thousands of people every summer to the 6000 seat amphitheater near Spearfish, SD. For years, attending the Black Hills Passion Play was as much a part of a vacation to the Black Hills as visiting Mount Rushmore.
Johanna Meier's parents, Josef and Clara, started the production in 1939 and continued until 2008. The Meiers also starred in the production, with Josef performing over 9000 shows.
