The Thorn at Stifel Theatre

The Thorn is an immersive theatrical production combining live music, drama, aerial acts, martial arts, modern dance and large-scale visual effects. Told through the eyes of an aged John the Beloved recalling his years alongside Jesus, the show spans from creation to the founding of the early church. Created by John and Sarah Bolin, the production began in 1996 and has been seen live by more than two million people. The touring company features nearly 60 performers in a two and a half hour show.
