There are no violent scenes. “We've taken great pains to down play the violence even though it’s real. Our challenge is to express the meaning behind Easter so everyone from little kids to senior citizens can get a bet- ter perspective,” Alexander said. The crucifixion, which is the only posed scene in the play, is viewed from behind the cross. Approximately 200 people have volunteered both behind the scenes and as actors, Most are playing crowd members, however, the central characters include Bill Eddie Parker as Jesus; Rev. Dale Swofford as Joseph; Jim Belt as the : Roman centurion; and Cindi Wood as Mary Magdalene. Using local talent is inten- tional. Alexander envisions town residents as actors, drawing audience members from other cities and states. “I want this to become a presentation of the people of Kings Mountain, not just one church or a group of churches,” Alexander said.

Alexander hopes to expand next year while keeping it downtown. “I can’t wait to see how we're going to solve that problem,” he said. In past years, Alexander watched as audience mem- bers discarded their pro- grams. This year the play- wright has produced some- thing he hopes they will hang onto, a newspaper from the first Easter Sunday. “Tomb Empty,” the front page headline will read. “This will give an indica- tion of the confusion of the people of Jerusalem when the tomb was found empty,” Alexander said. Alexander says the City of Kings Mountain has been supportive of the CrossWalk. “There are some leaders in Kings Mountain who see potential where this is going,” Alexander said. This year the CrossWalk received $4,000 in funds from the Kings Mountain Tourism Development Authority. That money comes from hotel occupancy tax; not from the town's general fund. Alexander said some objections have been raised to tax money helping fund a religious event though he . defends the practice. Religious tourism has become a major industry across the country drawing crowds to cities where they spend money in local busi- nesses, he said. Alexander would eventu- ally like to create an entire Easter festival using the CrossWalk as an anchor. CrossWalk tickets are $3 per person though the fee can be waived for individu- als who cannot afford to pay. The entire production will cost around $10,000 with ticket sells making up $2,700 of that total, Alexander said. TDA and private money will also help fund the proj- ect. Last year, the CrossWalk broke eyen financially. Currently, the CrossWalk is viewed by groups of 150 though Alexander would like to increase that to 300 per group. He also hopes to raise enough money to pur- chase production items that are currently borrowed. Some of the production costs include promotions, costuming, insurance, props and food for volunteers. Alexander plans an aggressive marketing cam- paign next year including working with the tourism industry to create hotel and meal packages. He has opted not to pass a collection plate at the end of the drama, saying it would detract from the emotional climax. “They've gone through the struggle of Jesus. Some are shouting and clapping. I'm just not going to break that,” Alexander said. CrossWalk runs Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. For ticket information, call 704-739-3838. Egg hunt slated in uptown Shelby The annual Uptown Shelby Easter egg hunt will be held April 3.
