LOS ANGELES - TelAve -- Plaza Mexico proudly presents their Easter Weekend celebrations highlighted on Friday, April 3rd, "Good Friday," with the experiential play. The Passion Play celebrates the life, "passion," death, and resurrection of Jesus. Attendees are encouraged to participate as part of the crowd during Christ's trial and bear witness to Christ's suffering, his Passion, death and resurrection. Come share this moving spiritual event with your community and people of all faiths April 3, 2026 at Plaza Mexico in Lynwood.

Cecilia Cruz's International Group of Independent Actors, known as Gidai Teatro, the theater group performing the Passion play, is comprised of 35 actors from all over Southern California, including as far as Bakersfield, and Riverside County, and they have been putting on this play at Plaza Mexico since 2013. Even the wood from the crosses are from Southern California, being made from approved pine trees grown locally in Big Bear, CA.

The intention of this play is to transmit a positive message of Christ's love to all generations, especially to young children and millennials who have experienced this love through their parents and the generations before them.  As the Passion has done for generations, this play is expected to encourage the development of faith and freedom of religious expression.  Showcasing the particular story of Jesus' journey, his apprehension and crucifixion, today the play is of major importance.
