The musical Easter Passion Play, “He’s Alive!” is back. The acclaimed musical drama returns to the Capitol Theater in Wheeling, W.Va., at 7:30 p.m. April 4 and 5 and 3:30 p.m. April 6.

The musical celebrates the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Over the years, Heaven Bound has expanded from a trio of singers to this group of vocalists, actors, musicians and crew. They are also responsible for entertaining people in Greene County over the last few years with their July 4 concerts at the Greene County Fairgrounds and a special 9/11 tribute concert.

Bus transportation from Waynesburg will be available April 5. The bus will leave from the parking lot to the right of Big Lots in Waynesburg at 5 p.m. for the 7:30 performance.
