Answer:

B. The cast will perform the play ten times between June 21st and July 1st.

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference between active voice and passive voice is that active voice has the subject acting while the passive voice has the subject being acted upon.

In the original sentence, the subject is the performances. In answer B, the subject is the cast, who are doing the performing.
