AUDITIONS will hunt for Jesus, his Disciples and other characters to recreate the last days of the Lord’s life.

Budding actors, singers and dancers are urged to try out for roles in Southampton Passion 2011 to reignite the true meaning of Easter for the city’s residents.

It is hoped 20,000 people will descend on the city to watch the performers recreate the death of Jesus.

The huge festival will take over Hoglands Park, in Southampton, on Good Friday and organisers now want to find their cast.

A dancing audition will be held at The Point, in Eastleigh on Saturday.

Acting and singing auditions will be held at the Riverside Family Church in Northam on October 19, 20 and 21.
