List of pageants of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
This list of pageants of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints delineates those annual outdoor theatrical performance produced by members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It is reminiscent of early Christian Pageants which reenacted the world history in processional performance. Latter-day Saint pageants are held outdoors, they are free to the public, and typically last for a two-week period. In December 2018, the LDS Church announced that four pageants will phased out over the next several years.
Pageants in production
- Mesa Easter Pageant: Jesus the Christ, Mesa, Arizona: This free musical is presented during the two weeks before Easter on the north lawn of the Mesa Arizona Temple.
- The British Pageant: Truth Will Prevail : Will generally be held every four years. The most recent pageant took place in August 2023. The next performance is scheduled for 2027 in England.
- : Since the British Pageant is not an annual pageant in England, it was determined that a modified version of the British Pageant would be brought to Nauvoo in 2014 and be performed on alternating evenings during the pageant season. The Nauvoo Pageant is designed to emphasize the prophetic mission of Joseph Smith and honors the Saints who built this city and temple. The next series of pageants will be held July through August 2024.
