What does it take to bring a massive ark, hundreds of animals, and a timeless biblical story to life on stage?

Whether you've never seen a Sight & Sound production or you're a longtime fan, this behind-the-scenes conversation will give you a deeper appreciation for the craft, creativity, and calling behind these "Broadway-style Bible musicals."
