The English pageant cars were a tradition long upheld in ancient times. An English pageant car was a mansion on wheels that moved though the principal street of a city and brought to a halt at predetermined stations where a scene of the play cycle is performed. We have decided to resurrect this wonderful tradition around campus. We have decided that the main streets of campus will be used to promote our new play – The Capmakers’ Play: The Woman Take in Adultery / The Raising of Lazarus. Each stop of the pageant car will last for approximately 15 and we will alternate 3 scenes from the play. The full cast will be involved in with this project and full costumes will be employed. The pageant cars are well worth seeing, so come join us. We will list the full pageant route and stops as soon as we have the full details.
