SYNOPSIS:
Jonah follows the Old Testament prophet Jonah as he runs away from a special assignment God has given him. After a series of wild adventures involving a seaport called Joppa, a huge boat, and a terrible storm, Jonah finds himself in the belly of a giant fish. But that’s not the end. It’s here that God teaches Jonah how to receive grace and extend mercy — even to his archenemy, Nineveh. Jonah has been seen by more than 2 million people on stage both in the Lancaster and Branson, Missouri, theaters.
