In 1976, when Glenn Eshelman traded his life as a dairy farmer in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, to follow his calling of bringing the gospel to life, even the trusty Old Farmer’s Almanac couldn’t predict the success he and his wife Shirley—as founders of Sight & Sound—would find producing entertainment with a purpose.

To celebrate the 30th anniversary of “Noah”—the first show to take the stage at Sight & Sound’s current state-of-the-art theater in Lancaster, which features a 300-foot wrap-around panoramic stage and the space to house sets four stories tall—a September production of “Noah” will be captured on film to roll out in theaters the week of Sept. 18.
