LANCASTER, Pennsylvania — Sight and Sound Theatres’ newest biblical production, “Jesus,” features 45 performers, one of the largest LED screens ever used theatrically and the largest moving set piece in the theater’s history.
“Jesus,” which debuted March 10 in Sight and Sound’s 2,000-seat theater in Lancaster, brings to life Galilee, Capernaum and Nazareth in telling the Gospel story of Christ on a panoramic 300-foot performance space that wraps around the audience on three sides. Action takes place on stage, in the aisles and on the 113-foot wide, 30-foot tall LED screen.
“Jesus” will run through Jan. 5, 2019.
Also in March, Sight and Sound launched “Samson” at its Branson, Missouri, theater. “Samson,” which will run through Dec. 29, features a 44-member cast and 34 live animals. The climax features twelve 28-foot columns toppling in full view of the audience.
