The St. James Choral Group from Kansas, Ohio last presented His Last Days in 2023.

His Last Days

His Last Days” was written in 1979 by Dallas Holm.

The 2023 Season was the group’s 32nd year of commemorating Lent by performing this musical, and 2018 was the last year that we traveled to present the program. It is a story in song about Christ’s last days on earth. From His triumphant entry into Jerusalem, the agony in the garden, the crucifixion, to His glorious resurrection, His Last Days lets you walk with Him on His final journey.

Our program started in 1989 as a meaningful Good Friday service at our home parish, and then branched out across northwest Ohio and into Michigan. The first year began with four performances in three different locations.  Over the next 32 years, the group presented His Last Days 215 times to audiences of over 41,700 traveling over 10,600 miles. We have traveled as far east as Vermilion, west to Paulding, south to Lima, north to Troy, Michigan.  There have been a total of 154 individuals involved in the musical group.

The cast members for 2024 include: Bill Daunhauer as Jesus and Adam Daunhauer as Pilate; Steve Johnson as Peter, Morgan Johnson as the Adulterous Woman, Kim Johnson as Mary and Butch Bish as the Centurion. The narration is done by Jim Hull.

Ginny Hull, director, oversees all aspects of the musical from the choir and lighting, to the technical crew.

This is an ecumenical program that can be enjoyed by adults and children of all ages. The musical lasts approximately 45 minutes and is accompanied by slides visually retelling ‘His Last Days.’
