Same as this popular deal from last year. Sight and Sound Theatre are offering a free three-day streaming of the "JESUS" theatrical production
Full disclosure and a trigger warning for the antitheists among us, this is a theatre production about Jesus if that's not your thing feel free to move along.
That being said for anyone else this is actually a pretty good watch, I was pleasantly surprised with the quality when I originally watched it and have happily watched it again. Suitable for all ages, it's a live theatrical performance of the story of Jesus with a brief Christian message at the end.
Here is the trailer for anyone interested.
And now for some cut and paste.
“Sight and Sound’s ‘Jesus’ show premiered 2018 and ran for two years, and the way it was produced was so cinematic in nature with the 300-foot wrap-around stage that it adapted perfectly to the screen,” Enck told The Christian Post. “When we saw it on the screen as a finished product, we were blown away by it. We’re so passionate about it because this story needs to be out there, told in this fresh new way.”
Over a million people have watched the live performance of “Jesus” at Sight & Sound’s theatre in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
Katie Miller, corporate communications manager at Sight & Sound told CP that the production takes a "very personal approach to the Jesus story.”
“We meet so many characters and learn the story of who they were both before and after they encounter Jesus," she said. “After watching the show, so many people came to us and said, ‘That’s my story. That’s how Jesus rescued me.' Act One is about individual rescues from the Bible; Act Two is about our rescue.
"I think that's one of the most inspiring and unexpected things that came out of that show. People saw themselves in the characters and in the way that Jesus was meeting every single person, right where they were at, and bringing to them what they needed to be rescued.”
The event also dramatizes inspirational moments from Jesus’ life, from challenging the Pharisees to healing the sick and hurting. According to Enck, the writers wanted to highlight Jesus' humanity and ability to connect with those of every walk of life.
What ‘fiction’? the one where most of the world celebrates the factual death and resurrection of Jesus and gets public holidays because of it?
