A rare night of intimate theater comes to Ojai. 🎭

This April 3 (Good Friday) and April 4, Ojai Performing Arts Theater presents acclaimed actor Maxwell Caulfield in the gripping solo play

PONTIUS PILATE: THE LOST GOSPEL — for two nights only.
Set in 36 AD, Pontius Pilate is summoned to Rome to answer for his rule. What unfolds is a tense portrait of power, ambition, and a haunting encounter with a rabbi from Nazareth. In 75 minutes, a man wrestles with the decision that defines his life.

Caulfield brings over four decades of stage experience and is donating his performances to benefit OPAT — creating a rare, intimate theatrical experience that lingers long after.
