介绍：Sight & Sound Theatres is the largest faith-based live theatre in the country and has been described as "Christian Broadway." Each year, about 800,000 people from around the world come to experience a production at one of Sight & Sound's theatres in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, or Branson, Missouri. The Lancaster County location is one of the top three theatre destinations in the country.

In 2011, the organization celebrated 35 years of public productions, but Sight & Sound's roots go even deeper. Founder Glenn Eshelman, a native of Lancaster County, began to develop his gifting as an artist as a young child on his family's farm. His landscape painting led to a career in photography, taking Glenn and his wife Shirley across the country to capture inspirational scenic photos. Presentation of these photos began with a single slide projector and screen, along with a turntable and microphone to provide sound. By 1975, the Eshelmans had produced four multimedia shows and had traveled to churches, schools, and civic organizations across the U.S. showcasing these inspirational productions.

In July 1976, the Sight & Sound Auditorium (later renamed the Living Waters Theatre) opened its doors for the debut performance of A Land of Our Own. Live actors were eventually added to the productions, and Behold the Lamb debuted as the first full-length live stage production at the original Sight & Sound Auditorium in 1987.

As the productions grew in scale and the public's desire to attend outpaced seating capacity, it became clear that a larger theatre was needed. In March of 1991, the Sight & Sound Entertainment Centre opened within a mile of the Living Waters Theatre to present live, large-scale productions. The Living Waters Theatre featured a multimedia experience with special visual and audio effects, and innovative fountains of water in a narrative context.

In 1997, a devastating fire destroyed the Entertainment Centre, along with the majority of equipment, the sets and half of the shop and storage buildings, but thankfully there were no injuries. With the encouragement of many, an all-new theatre opened September 1, 1998, with an even greater capacity to bring the Bible to life. Featuring more than 2,000 seats, a 300-foot stage that wraps around three sides of the audience, and the latest in sound, lighting, and technical capabilities, the new facility opened the door to expanded and improved productions. Concurrently in 1997, the Living Waters Theatre was also renovated to bring live stage productions back to Sight & Sound's original venue.

Many inspiring productions have come to the Sight & Sound stages over the years, such as Colors of Praise, The Splendor of Easter, Joys of Christmas, The Eternal Flame, Miracle of Christmas, Noah - the Musical, Abraham & Sarah - A Journey of Love, Daniel and the Lions' Den, Behold the Lamb, Ruth, Psalms of David, Voices of Christmas, In the Beginning, and Joseph.

In May 2008, Sight & Sound's brand new, state-of-the-art, 2,000-seat theatre opened its doors to the public in Branson, Missouri. Both Noah - the Musical and Miracle of Christmas have become favorite shows among Branson audiences.

2010 was the final season for live stage productions at Sight & Sound's Living Waters Theatre allowing the production teams to focus on the larger scale productions at the Branson and Lancaster County theatres.

A succession plan for the second generation was initiated in 2007, and in 2011, the Board of Directors voted to transition Josh Enck and Matt Neff to Co-President alongside their current roles of Chief Creative Officer and Chief Administrative Officer.

2012 promises to be an extremely exciting year with premiere productions new to each of our theatres. Sight & Sound's latest creation, Jonah, premieres in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, and Joseph will open in Branson, Missouri.

Sight & Sound Theatres continues to be committed to bringing the Bible to life with quality and excellence, seeking always to honor God and encourage the faith of our guests.
