Following ten years of bringing their theater experience from the stage to the screen, Sight & Sound is partnering with Fathom Events to do something new — broadcast a production live into movie theaters nationwide.
“We know not everyone can come to us, so we want to take the show to them,” says Katie Miller, Director of Brand Development. “Our hope is to continue creating experiences that extend beyond our stage and bring people together to witness the Bible coming to life in a whole new way!”
Broadcasting live from the Lancaster, PA stage on Friday, August 30th, DANIEL — Live! takes audiences on a journey with a faithful servant and his friends, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, as they face royal pressures and dangerous choices during their exile in Babylon.
“Found in the Old Testament, Daniel is best known for its vivid dreams, fiery furnace, and infamous lion’s den. But as we began creating this production four years ago, it was Daniel’s unwavering faith throughout these trials that inspired the heart of our story,” shared Kristen Brewer, Producer of DANIEL.
With over a dozen cameras covering the theater from every angle, including on stage and behind the curtain, moviegoers will have a front-row seat to every moment of DANIEL in real time. This special live broadcast will also include exclusive bonus content, featuring behind-the-scenes interviews and an inside look at bringing this story to life on stage.
“We’ve had the honor of partnering with Fathom Events on previous theatrical releases. But this is the first time we are broadcasting live into movie theaters nationwide!” said Miller. “We cannot wait to share Daniel’s story with movie goers across the country and we hope his powerful story inspires audiences of all ages.”
Previous collaborations between Fathom Events and Sight & Sound include the family Christmas film “I Heard The Bells,” which earned over $5.6 million at the box office in 2022 and 2023.
Tickets for DANIEL — Live! can be purchased at Fathom Events or at participating theater box offices. For a complete list of theater locations, visit the Fathom Events website (theaters are subject to change).
