Latter-day Saint pageant

A Latter-day Saint pageant is an annual outdoor theatrical performance produced by members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It is reminiscent of early Christian Pageants which reenacted the world history in processional performance. Latter-day Saint pageants are held outdoors, they are free to the public, and typically last for a two-week period, drawing crowds of approximately 15,000 people per night over an eight-night performance.^[1] The pageant is, for Latter-day Saints, a faith-promoting family event that recounts significant religious events in history. There are several pageants that are regularly performed:

• The Mormon Miracle Pageant held during the early summer in Manti, Utah adjacent to the Manti Utah Temple.
• The "And it Came to Pass" Pageant held in Oakland, California at the Oakland California Temple
• The Easter Pageant held in Mesa, Arizona at the Mesa Arizona Temple
• The Hill Cumorah Pageant held in Palmyra, New York at the Hill Cumorah
