Merrill Ogden M- ur All-da- "Donts" The miracles Dont place this 1. 31st season Tomorrow night the Manti Pageant begins its 31st season. Its a new earlier run this year, rather than the traditional July dates. The Mormon Miracle Pageant runs eight nights: Thursday through Saturday this week and Tuesday through Saturday next week. I believe that many of us in Sanpete take for granted the numbers of people who attend this annual phenomenon on Temple Hill in Manti. According to Jay Cluff, the newly installed pageant committee president, the Manti production is the largest single night audience draw of all outdoor pageants in the country. The only pageant which outdraws the Manti pageant overall is the Passion Play in Arkansas which has more than a hundred performances versus the eight nights in Manti. There were more than 140.000 people who attended in Manti last year. It takes literally hundreds of people to put the pageant on and to provide the support services. Extra effort is being made this year to involve more people from the entire county. From humble beginnings, the show has evolved into a huge undertaking. This year a new lighting system is in place. Until now, there hasnt been side lighting or back lighting. Many new costumes will add to the new look this year. The production people have been anxiously anticipating the changes and are excited. Some of us in Sanpete have seen the pageant dozens of times over the years. Its "old hat" to us and we cant figure out why so many people keep coming. I think there are three reasons. 1. Its like a favorite movie. You can see it over and over again. (Ive seen some movies 10 to 20 times.) 2. Its not just a production, its an experience. Its like a Mormon sponsored "Woodstock." 3. Theres always a new crop of people who are coming to the pageant for the first time. There are three or four people in my neighborhood who will be going to the pageant this year for the first time. They are quite new to the area and to "Mormon culture." Im going to be giving them some "dos" and "donts" for having a successful outing at the pageant. Perhaps all could benefit by this little list of Manti pageant etiquette. Here it is, starting with the "donts": bever- age order at the concession stand: "Two beers, a black coffee and a diet coke.

(Get great brownies and sweet rolls at the concession stands near the temple grounds.) 3. Dont ask ushers. "What times are the tours for the castle?" 4. Dont expect that announcing that youre a personal friend of Dennis Rodman will get you preferential seating and V.I.P. Treatment. 5.

Then go to either church house on Main Street in Manti for a Sanpete barbecued turkey dinner. 2. Do act interested when start Mormon missionaries conversations beginning with the question, "What do you know about the Mormons?" 3. Do "Oooh" and "Ahh" when the light comes up on the angel on top of the temple. 4. Do spend time and money in Manti. They could use the tax revenue and somebody different to stare at for a few days. 5. Do Relax and Enjoy. Heres to a successful 31st season. If its been a few years since you saw the pageant, this would be a good year to come back. Because of the new dates, I believe that some are concerned that the crowds will be lighter than usual this year.
