Free Stage Production of ‘JESUS’ to Air Easter Weekend on TBN
LANCASTER — Even though movie theaters have been closed for weeks, a film production featuring the “greatest rescue story of all time” will still come to life Easter weekend.
More than one million people have experienced the live, on-stage performance of JESUS at Sight & Sound’s theater in Lancaster, Pa.
With its nationwide theater debut cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic, a global audience will now have the opportunity to witness this extraordinary production exclusively on TBN.
It can be viewed at 1 p.m. Saturday, April 11 on television, or anytime through the TBN app or Web site, Friday through Sunday, April 10-12 only.
“With people not being able to gather together to celebrate Easter, our hope is that by making this show available, we might all feel a sense of community and connection, as we watch the greatest rescue story of all time come to life in this unique way,” said Sight & Sound Chief Creative Officer Josh Enck.
From the bustling streets of Jerusalem to the raging Sea of Galilee, JESUS is an action-packed musical stage adventure for the whole family.
Join Peter, Nicodemus, Mary Magdalene and a multitude of others, as they journey alongside the most famous person ever to walk the earth.
Witness the most miraculous events in history, as Jesus sets sail with fishermen and makes disciples out of the least-expected. The lives he touches will never be the same.
Experience the greatest rescue story of all time, as it comes to life on stage with massive sets, special effects and live animals in this original stage production from Sight & Sound Theatres®.
This premiere television broadcast and digital event follows other Sight & Sound productions that made the journey from stage to screen, like NOAH in 2019, MOSES in 2018 and JONAH in 2017.
