Since its opening in 2008, Sight & Sound Theatres in Branson has presented multiple dramatizations of Bible characters and their stories, from Noah and his ark to the life of Jesus. The theatre's technology and architecture allows visitors to step back into ancient times and feel as if they are experiencing the Bible first-hand. Upon entering the complex, guests are greeted with an impressive lobby covering 20,000 square feet, a picturesque dome ceiling, a second-level viewing atrium and beautiful mock sets. Live animals used in productions are housed and trained in two basement levels of the facility, and networks of custom passageways surrounding the theatre allow cast members and animals to fluidly access various parts of the theatre during productions. Visitors to the complex are mesmerized by shows illuminated with 2 million watts and sound that is projected through more than 70 surround-sound speakers. Depending on the production, audience members may see performers enter scenes from a variety of locations. A stage fly-loft enables performers to soar 110 feet in the air. There's also an elaborate catwalk system, where performers can cross an extensive truss network over the main stage that features more than 200 trusses.

About Sight & Sound Theatres

In 1976, the original Sight & Sound show debuted in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Founder Glenn Eshelman produced a 10-week multimedia show, "The Wonder of It All," in an auditorium at the nearby Lancaster Bible College. Eshelman soon opened Sight & Sound's original auditorium, the Living Waters Theatre, and live actors were added to his productions. By 1991, the "Christian Broadway" had outgrown its original auditorium, and the Sight & Sound Entertainment Centre opened in its place.

The name "Sight & Sound" was inspired by Christ's teachings and Eshelman's goal, which was to dramatize Biblical truths through live stage productions to illustrate messages as Jesus did through storytelling.

After a fire destroyed the Lancaster Entertainment Centre, the new Sight & Sound Theatre was built in its place, holding 2,000 seats and a 300-foot panoramic stage. With the success of Sight & Sound's first production, "Noah," expansion plans were developed. The company opened a replica of the Lancaster theatre in Branson in 2008. 

Today, productions travel between the two operating theatres, and a new show is produced every other year. For more information about the company's history, visit here
