Grace Church members are inviting the public to step back 2,000 years for “Jerusalem Revisited.” It’s a 30-minute walk-through recreation of the city of Jerusalem, to experience what Jesus saw, heard and felt, according to church officials.

The performances will be Thursday, April 9, and Friday, April 10, from 7 to 9:30 p.m.

Those who come to the Easter-time event will see over 60 actors, kids and adults. They’ll line up in the parking lot and walk through the re-created city, experiencing the sights, sounds and different dramatic scenes.

Susan Moyer is the producer/director for the huge undertaking, and has been busy this week helping organize everything from building “The Village” to working with the actors.

“People tour the village, led in 30 at a time by Roman guards. Inside the village there’s 12 different shops, including a bakery and a lamp shop,” she said. “A shepherd guide will then lead people through the village to different dramatic scenes.”

Actors in the past included Cory Peterson, Andy Witt and Roger Lando.

The actors will be busy. Since those viewing are led through 30 at a time, the actors will have to re-perform every few minutes.

“The last time we did this we had 600 the first night and about 800 the next,” she said.

The actors are all church members. Animals will also be in on the performance, she said, including goats.

There will be scenes with Judas, about Jesus carrying the cross and more.

Because of the amount of work involved, the church does the re-creation every other year.

“This will be our sixth year doing it,” Moyer said, adding that the event always turns out wonderfully. “And it’s free, a good way to entertain your kids.”

While admission is free, food will be available for purchase starting at 5 p.m.

Grace Church is located at 13 S.E. 21st Place near the border of North Fort Myers and Cape Coral, off Hancock Bridge Parkway.
