Here’s today’s dispatch from the crossroads of faith, media and culture.
Fathom Events and Eakin Films are bringing Come to the Garden – On Stage! to select U.S. cinemas for one night on Tuesday, May 3 at 7:00 p.m. local time. This exclusive event includes a post-event discussion with special guest and New York Times best-selling author of The Shack, Wm Paul Young. Tickets can be purchased online by going to the website or at more than 400 participating theaters.
Featuring character voiceover performances from Emmy-winner and Today Show host Kathie Lee Gifford, Academy Award-winner Louis Gossett, Jr., and popular faith comedienne Chonda Pierce (as Morgan’s guardian angel), this feature-length professional stage show will use groundbreaking three-dimensional projection technology to fuse live-action and animation, creating a unique and immersive experience on the big screen.
“I am very excited to be a part of this special event,” Pierce says, adding “Jennifer’s story will truly captivate audiences, as viewers will feel like they are a part of the story while they go on this journey with the characters.”
“We are thrilled to partner with Eakin Films to bring Jennifer’s work to the big screen. With such a talented cast, this event is sure to entertain on a variety of emotional levels,” says Fathom Events Vice President of Programming Kymberli Frueh.
Frank Eakin, president of Eakin Films, adds “Working with Fathom to present the first-ever cinema event of its kind through on-stage light projection technology has been exhilarating. Jennifer’s authenticity and insights into the hope and healing that result from Divine encounters, together with the stage experience created by our 3D projection mapping pioneers, deliver a unique and moving experience for faith audiences.”
