Our Full Review

The Thorn is one of the most incredible and powerful passion performances like you’ve never seen before, a visual arts masterpiece that is a must see.

In 1996, while working as youth pastors in Colorado, John and Sarah Bolin and their team created The Thorn to communicate to students their unconditional value to God. Designed as an interactive, relevant retelling of the Story of God, it was initially performed to a small audience of high school students. For more than 25 years, in front of 1.5 million people on stages across the US, The Thorn has shared in a spectacular way history’s most epic story: God’s love for the world amidst the spiritual battle for all of humanity. Now this beautifully filmed version of the stage show with added features to bring you even closer to the amazing story will be available for even more to see and be a part of.

With incredibly high production values, The Thorn is an epic passion drama blending a full range of visual arts from drama, dance, martial arts, music, arial performers, pyrotechnics and visual effects. These elements all work and flow so well together to show history from creation to resurrection combined with glimpses of the spiritual realm. It is well written, produced and directed and the film version adds a new element to the story telling through the eyes of John and Asher ( a young boy on the run from the Romans) on the island of Patmos. The film version also allows us to get closer to the performance, being able to see everything from up on the stage making it more personal and intimate in a way.

There are some extremely powerful and emotional performances and scenes, you’ll be gripped from beginning to end as you experience this incredible show that would not be out of place on Broadway or the West End.

See the passion of Jesus like you’ve never seen it before. The Thorn is a must see for everyone, an experience that you will never forget with the power to change lives, to offer hope and to bring people to know Jesus.

Do not miss this.
