The original run opened at the Pearl Theatre in New York City in late 2016, followed by a 2017–2018 U.S. tour that brought the story to audiences nationwide, including engagements with groups like the Houston AD Players. In 2020, when theaters paused, a virtual production extended the reach of the show to tens of thousands of viewers, continuing FPA’s mission to bring transformative biblical drama to new audiences.
