For more than 2,000 years, people have been talking about the life, death and resurrection of Jesus. And at least since the Middle Ages, they’ve been talking about it on stage.

The Thorn is essentially a modern iteration of the age-old Passion Play—a theatrical extravaganza filled with song, dance and aerial acrobatics all designed to highlight the greatest story ever told. Countless people have seen The Thorn live over its 25-year history, but now Its stage is about to get a whole lot bigger. A cinematic version of the production is coming to theaters beginning March 6, courtesy Fathom Events.

I had a chance to talk with John Bolin, the creator and director of The Thorn. We chatted about the show’s humble beginnings, its creative flourishes and the process of bringing this stage production to the big screen. Watch to hear our conversation.

The Thorn will be in select theaters beginning March 6. If you’d like to see it, don’t dilly-dally. It’ll only be playing for a very limited time. You can buy tickets at the Fathom Events website. And you can read our review at Plugged In: https://www.pluggedin.com/movie-revie...
