One of the perks of volunteering at the Passion Play is having the opportunity to see shows in Branson, MO. on a comp basis, meaning we see the shows for free. With ticket prices over $50 for some shows, that is a nice benefit. With the busy schedule we have, it's often difficult to get away, but over the past two weeks we have been able to see the presentation of Samson at the Sight and Sound Theater twice.
In past years we have seen Moses (3 times) and Jonah (2 times). The shows premiere at the S&S Theater in Lancaster, PA, stay there for two years and then come to Branson. The productions are very professionally done, have wonderful high-tech scenery, sound and lighting effects and always bring a "Jesus message" to the Old Testament stories. Each time we attend, we are awed by what they are able to accomplish with a cast of about 43 stage performers, a host of well-trained animals and technical elements which are pretty spectacular. I'm sure we will see Samson again this year when we have friends visit us at TGPP and we can take them to Branson as our guest.
The production now on stage in Pennsylvania, is "Jesus", and there is already a lot of anticipation in Branson that "Jesus" will be in Branson in two years. I'm not being flip or disrespectful, but I hope, as many other Believers do, that the real Jesus will come, or rather, Return, before the stage production comes here. With all the turmoil in our world, I'm sure there are many who would agree with me. As Scripture says, "Yes, I am coming soon." Amen. Come, Lord, Jesus. Amen and Amen.
