Sight And Sound Theater Presentation of "Jesus"

Today we headed to Pennsylvania Dutch country where horses and buggies are as prevalent as cars and wonderful home-cooked food is available everywhere. We went with Joy and John, Lyn and Sai, and Peggy, Jay and Karen and started at the Bird-In-Hand Bakery and Cafe for some breakfast rolls and Shoo Fly Pie.

Then we stopped at a few shops in town before going to the Sight And Sound Theater in Ronks, PA, a short drive from Bird-In-Hand through Amish farm country. This theater - and its sister theater in Branson, Missouri - presents plays exclusively based on characters and events from the Bible.

Peggy and Jay bought tickets for all of us to the performance of Jesus, the current play at the theater. It was a wonderful play.

After the play, we drove to the Shady Maple Smorgasbord for supper. Shady Maple is a HUGE buffet that can seat 1200 diners! They serve every Pennsylvania Dutch dish you can imagine and offer numerous other cuisines. It is home-cooking culinary nirvana! Oh, and in the basement, there is a 40,000 sq ft gift shop!
