Strasburg, Pennsylvania; Branson, Missouri
Where can your family see the Garden of Eden as it was created, watch Noah build the Ark, experience the first Christmas, and witness Resurrection morning?
Sight & Sound Theaters is a Christian drama company dedicated to visualizing and dramatizing the Scriptures. Just as the Lord Jesus illustrated truth by stories, Sight & Sound Theaters allows their guests to see biblical events acted out on stage.
By presenting professional-quality productions of key Bible stories, they strive to present the gospel to the unsaved and to encourage Christians in their walk with the Lord. Sight & Sound has locations in Strasburg, Pennsylvania (the nation's largest professional Christian theater), and in Branson, Missouri. They also offer behind-the-scenes tours, which allow guests to see what a massive undertaking these productions really are.
It is a good idea to visit Sight & Sound's website (www.sight-sound.com) before making plans to visit since show availability varies with the theater location and the time of year.
Wouldn't you love to go back in time, to the very beginning of life when God created everything in six days? Just imagine how lush the Garden of Eden must have been in its perfect state.
The creation account from the foundational book of Genesis comes to life in a believable and spectacular way at Sight & Sound's Millennium Theater in Pennsylvania. Here, you will see Adam being created from the dust and then later joined by Eve as they stroll through the Garden filled with a mixture of live and animatronic animals. The state-of-the-art special effects and stirring music enhances the experience.
(Make sure to mention to your family, though, that dinosaurs and other unusual creatures of God's original "kinds"—now found only in the fossil record—were also a part of the original Creation Week.)
This 2 1/2-hour show also takes you through other key events in mankind's history—the rebellion and separation against God and then the promise of a Savior who would bring hope and salvation to those who put their faith and trust in Him.
Looking for a way to keep Christ the focus of your Christmas celebrations? The Miracle of Christmas show, hosted every winter at both locations offers some contemporary Christmas cheer before transporting visitors back in time to witness the realistic and engaging presentation of the Nativity, which includes dozens of Bible characters and live animals.
Imagine the ridicule that Noah and his sons must have faced as they built the Ark and warned others of God's upcoming judgment of a worldwide Flood. Imagine Noah and his family being cooped up on the Ark for a whole year as they cared for all the animals.
This familiar account of the global Flood that demolished every living thing outside the Ark is brought to life through a cast of more than 50 and numerous trained animals, 3D video imaging, pyrotechnics, and laser lighting at the Branson, Missouri theater.
Your spirit will soar at the journey's end when God promises to never flood the earth again through displaying a beautiful rainbow.
(Make sure to mention to your family, though, that dinosaurs and other unusual creatures of God's original "kinds"—now found only in the fossil record—were also a part of the menagerie of land animals on the Ark.)
