After hearing my Aunt Connie rave about the Sight and Sound Theater in Lancaster, we decided to check it out for ourselves. The mission of this theater is to bring people the Word of God through large-scale productions of Biblical stories. When I say that this is a large-scale production, I mean it. The special effects, costumes, and sets are out-of-this-world. They even use live animals in the story telling. The "story" that is being presented this year is Jonah and the Whale. I've always thought of Jonah as a kid-friendly book of the Bible, so I figured it would be a good play for the kids. I must say that the actors did an excellent job of presenting the message and made me think about the Book of Jonah in a way that I'd never thought about it before. I like that the production made the story "come alive" for everyone. Well, almost everyone- poor Owen slept through the first act, but he enjoyed the second one. Olivia was awake and alert the whole time. We were all impressed with this musical and with this theater in general. Even Poppy liked the show (and this is definitely NOT his type of thing).
