RONKS, Pa.—The Sight & Sound Theatre, known for bringing Bible stories to life on stage, presents the story of the prophet Daniel for their 2024 production. The best-known story of Daniel has to do with the events that led to his being thrown into a lions’ den and his miraculous survival. It is a timely story of hope and faith in times of persecution and distress.
Daniel’s Faith-Story
The play is set in Babylon during the reign of King Nebuchadnezzar. It opens with the king having a nightmare. Alarmed, he summons his wise men, magicians, and counselors demanding them to interpret his dream—without telling them what the dream was.Babylon, a mighty nation, had conquered many kingdoms, and the captives were brought into Babylon. The best and the brightest of them were chosen to serve the royal court. Daniel, with three other young Jews, are among other young men at court. Daniel is able to prove himself worthy when he is the only one able to interpret the king’s dream.
