Black Hills Passion Play

For 70 years, the BLACK HILLS PASSION PLAY was a main attraction for Spearfish. Performances were every Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday at 8:15 p.m. from June through August. Josef Meier first brought the Passion Play to Spearfish, South Dakota in 1938. The Passion Play ampitheatre was constructed in 1939.
