Branson at a Glance [www.bransonataglance.com]

Sight & Sound Theatres - described as "the largest faith-based live theatre in America," and "the Christian Broadway" - is coming to Branson, Missouri! The story, the songs and spectacular staging bring each of Sight & Sound Theatres' epic original musical theatre production shows to life. Most shows feature a professional cast of more than 50, elaborate sets towering up to 40 feet high, hundreds of costumes, trained animals ranging from camels and horses to dogs and flight-trained birds, and beautifully inspiring memorable music. Spectacular special effects permeate the shows and include set pieces

that rise up through the stage floor, 3D video imaging, pyrotechnics, and artistic lighting effects with lasers.

The company's purpose is to visualize and dramatize the Bible through live stage productions, illustrating truth in the same way that Jesus did, by storytelling.

Prominent shows which have been featured at the original theaters in Strasburg, Pennsylvania include Noah-The Musical, Abraham & Sarah-A Journey of Love, Daniel-A Dream, A Den, A Deliverer. Ruth, Psalms of David, the Easter spectacular- Behold the Lamb, and Miracle of Christmas - which recreates the world into which Jesus was born and concludes in a stunning Nativity scene featuring flying angels, three camels, majestically-costumed wise men and elaborate special effects

After God reveals to the righteous Noah that a flood will extinguish all life on earth, He charges the man to construct an ark massive enough to shelter his family, any other true believers, and pairs of every species of living creature.

Lacking materials, Noah takes his three sons to Nod, a city in decline. The family tries in vain to convince their friends and neighbors to join them, and are ridiculed and attacked throughout the decades it takes them to fulfill God's command.

Watch Noah and his family try to care not only for themselves while at sea, but for their vast menagerie as well. Experience their stress at being cooped up together for more than a year. When their trying journey is finally complete, marvel at the wonder of God's reward for Noah's unquestioning obedience and devotion to Him.
