Adam, I know it appears harmless, but that is why I asked what the purpose for such would be. I believe the very words of God are more effective than our methods. So I ask you why do this in lieu of using the very words of God?
Your response implies that the Rick Warren types have some better method of reaching people and we should adopt such methods ourselves to be better at something. If that is not what you meant then I am not sure why a Passion Play would have anything to do with Rick Warren reaching all these people. I don't know about you, but a play did not bring me from Rome, Benny Hinn, John Hagee, 700 Club, Bill Hybels, to the no exception OPC member I am today. The very words of God did. "Search the scriptures," is so simple, yet so difficult.
If an opportunity arose where the church was able to have thousands of non-church people as an audience, what would be the best thing to do? I would say speak the very words of God. Some will utterly hate such with great passion while others will show that God gave them ears to hear.
