LOS ANGELES (August 20, 2020) — Social distancing measures and restrictions on large gatherings and have made live theater all but impossible in most places, so TBN is bringing the stage to Americans’ living rooms. Sight & Sound Theatres’ unforgettable theatrical production of JONAH will make its world television debut Friday, August 21, at 8/7 p.m. Central, on TBN, the world’s most-watched faith-and-family network.
Filmed in front of a live audience, JONAH has been seen by more than two million people on stage, and is airing on TBN in a one-night-only event.
Based on the well-known Bible story, the fascinating Sight & Sound Theatre production follows the Old Testament prophet Jonah as he runs away from a special assignment God has given him. After a series of wild adventures involving a seaport called Joppa, a huge boat, and a terrible storm, Jonah finds himself in the belly of a giant fish. But that’s not the end. It’s here that God teaches Jonah how to receive grace and extend mercy — even to his archenemy Nineveh.
Families are invited to experience this state-of-the-art production of JONAH in its special worldwide television debut exclusively on TBN Friday, August 21 at 8 p.m. Eastern / 7 p.m. Central, and on-demand through the TBN app, August 21-23 only.
