Interview with Jeff & Kathy Hess, Work Crew Manager and “Mom,” Thursday, April 21, 2022
Description
Jeff and Kathy Hess were “work crew supervisors” for the work team tasked with setting up the stage and other various Pageant props from 2011 to 2019. This hand-selected group of 28 young Mormon men lived, ate, and slept on the Hill Cumorah site for over a month. They worked around the clock to ensure the Hill Cumorah was ready for the summer Pageant in addition to operating the lighting effects that occurred during the performance. Through a series of applications to perform in the Pageant themselves, and through other odd jobs around the Pageant, the Hesses were finally selected to lead this high-performing group of young men.
