About The Third Day 2026

Wendell Tabb’s The Third Day, produced by Triangle Performance Ensemble, is a powerful show about redemption and forgiveness. The show is based on The Passion narratives in the Bible and a modern adaptation of the end times. Two families are brought together to stage the church’s Easter play, The Third Day. What begins as routine tradition slowly unravels into something far more revealing.

Old wounds surface. New temptations creep in. Faith and family bend under pressure.As the production nears, the line between past and present blurs, while the story they're telling on stage begins to mirror the one they're fighting to survive.
