I wrote a feature on the 50th anniversary of the Manti Mormon Miracle Pageant:
While visiting Manti in Sanpete County during its two-week period of the Mormon Miracle Pageant, there's a reason it seems that the whole place is somehow involved in the production: The cast members, crew members and volunteers make up a group approximately two thirds of the population of Manti itself, and each night of the pageant, the small city's population approximately triples with audience members.
