Jesus the Christ Mesa Easter Pageant

The Mesa Easter Pageant, “Jesus the Christ,” is a 70-minute outdoor musical dramatization that highlights the powerful and poignant moments of the life of Jesus Christ – from His humble birth to His glorious resurrection – as found in the New Testament. This year’s dates are Wednesday, March 29, through Saturday, April 1 (English soundtrack, American Sign Language, 400 Spanish headsets available per night) and Tuesday, April 4, through Saturday, April 8 (English soundtrack, 400 Spanish headsets available per night). All nine shows begin at 8 p.m. on the north lawn of the Mesa Arizona Temple, 101 S. LeSueur in downtown Mesa.

No tickets or reservations needed. Come early to sit on some of the 9,500+ chairs provided. Attendees are also encouraged to attend during the first week of performances to avoid the generally larger crowds closer to Easter weekend. Each night’s show begins at 8 p.m.

Attendees are encouraged to use Valley Metro Light Rail, which has a stop at Mesa Drive/Main Street, within a short walking distance of the venue. A person must be present to save seats. A person can save up to 4 seats. Seats may not be saved after 7:30 p.m. Unattended items will be removed (and taken to the visitors’ center).
