On June 21 at noon, our Lunch and Learn speaker was Lea Nicoll Kramer. Following in the footsteps of her parents, who attended the 350th anniversary passion play in 1984, Lea and her husband Dean were privileged to attend the 42nd OPP on June 22, 2022. This talk was Lea’s reflection on that experience and on the fundamental reforms that have been made to the production since Christian Stuckl became the director of the 39th play in 1990.
