When a slave boy stumbles upon the last living disciple of Jesus, the old man recounts his memories of the life and death of the Messiah. Performed with music, dance and acrobatics this theatrical performance was captured live on stage.

The Thorn is a visually dynamic and heart-stirring theatrical portrayal of the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Not your average Passion play, The Thorn combines martial arts, aerial acrobatics and emotionally powerful performances that have been engaging audiences across the US for almost 20 years. To help bring this timeless story to life, The Thorn recruits large-scale casts of professional and volunteer performers who share in the heart of The Thorn. By joining local casts and a national touring team, we invite the world to engage with the ultimate story of love, sacrifice and redemption.—Steven R. Dodd
