Sight & Sound Announces Next Production, Daniel: It’s a ‘Treasure Hunt through the Bible’
Sight & Sound, the Broadway-style ministry that welcomes 1 million people through its doors each year, has announced its next production: Daniel.
Daniel, four years in the making, will launch in Lancaster, Pa., in March 2024 and take audiences on a journey with the faithful Old Testament servant Daniel “and his friends Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego as they face royal pressures and dangerous choices,” according to a news release.
Sight & Sound productions feature special effects, live animals, original music, massive sets and a wrap-around stage that’s the width of a football field.
“I’ve just grown to love this book and love this story, because it takes you on a treasure hunt through the Bible – Old and New Testament, which is just so cool and fun,” producer Kristen Brewer told Christian Headlines.
Daniel, she said, “didn’t set out to be influential.”
“As he walked faithfully through life, the Lord placed him in circumstances where God’s light would shine through him. We hope audiences will be inspired by Daniel’s unwavering faith.”
Like all Sight & Sound productions, she said, the production will end with a gospel presentation.
“It all points toward Jesus,” Brewer said.
Sight & Sound is a ministry that was launched nearly 50 years ago in Lancaster and has since launched a second site in Branson, Mo. The auditorium seats 2,000 people.
A plot summary says Daniel is “exiled far from home in the powerful kingdom of Babylon” and “must navigate his new life inside a palace filled with golden statues and shifting empires.”
“As royal pressures mount, Daniel is faced with a dangerous choice,” the summary says. “Will his trust in the one true God remain steadfast through every test of faith? From the fiery furnace to the infamous den of lions, Daniel is a spectacular theatrical experience for the whole family.”
