What is Sight & Sound Theatre?

Sight & Sound is famous for its larger-than-life biblical productions on a massive 300-foot stage that wraps around the audience. With huge sets, live animals, and stunning special effects, it's more than a show — it's an experience. The Lancaster theatre presents JONAH through December 31, 2027.

What is JONAH about?

How long is the show?

Most performances run about two and a half hours, including an intermission — perfect for an afternoon or evening outing.
