Around Christmas time, they have a production of the Christmas story but throughout the year they have shows depicting the events of other Bible books or characters. Some friends of ours went last summer to see Joseph and said it was so good they took family to see it again when they visited.
We had to wait a while to have a weekend free to make the trip, but by the time we were ready we found out the church would be taking a group. Even better. We paid for our tickets at church and road the bus with other members. It was nice to talk with my friend Micah on the way up (Boy, did the time fly. We were having fun.). We ate at a fabulous all-you-can-eat buffet style restaurant for dinner and arrived at the theater with a little time to spare.
The show we went to see was Jonah.
I was impressed to see the building when we arrived.
My hair looks a bit wispier than I realized :(
In the theater before showtime.
They do not allow pictures to be taken in the theater; however, I received this admonition to mean we were not to take pictures of the interior of the theater (not only to avoid a disturbance during the show, but to avoid capturing pics of the set and staging). Thus, we quickly snapped a picture of ourselves with fellow attendees in the background. No theater secrets slipped out with us! :)
It was a phenomenal show of Jonah and we had a wonderful time taking in all of it. In fact, Matt told me the next morning that with the story still on his mind and heart he reread the book during his quiet time. For those of you who are wondering, Matt testifies to it's accuracy to the biblical text...at least as far as the characters' lines go.
For those of you who live in parts farther South, don't despair. They have a theater in Branson, MO. They'll be running the show Joseph from April to December. Check it out!
