Noah
... a show of unbelievable proportions! An amazing opportunity to witness live on stage the building of Noah’s ark. Experience this inspiring story at Sight and Sound Theatre in Lancaster. With more than 300 animals and elaborate sets, Noah is a journey through time that we’ll never forget! Relive this awesome time when a family was told to build this huge floating vessel and fill it with animals. We’ll actually be a part of Noah’s family “in the Ark” when God shuts the door and the first raindrop falls. In addition, we’ll enjoy lunch and the show Stolen, an old-fashioned, light-hearted mystery, at Bird-in-Hand Stage. Come along and enjoy!

As Noah endeavors to live faithfully in the midst of an increasingly chaotic world, can he trust that God’s promises run deeper than the rising water around him? This landmark production takes us on board one of the world’s best known voyages as live animals fill the stage and aisles. Set sail on the enormous ark as this extraordinary story comes to life right before our eyes. This is an experience we’ll long remember!
