Abraham & Sarah at Sight and Sound Living Waters Theatre
They didn't always understand God's plan, but they came to understand that He does always keep his promises - in His time.
Desperately wanting a child, Abraham and Sarah are thrilled when God promises to bless them with one. But years go by. Decades. Their faith becomes tinged with bitterness, their trust overshadowed by willfulness. In His love, God helps them through the problems they create, shows mercy to the innocent Hagar and her son Ishmael, and - when Abraham is 100 years old - fulfills His promise. Their belief restored, the couple weathers an even more brutal test when God instructs Abraham to sacrifice their treasured son.
Follow Abraham up the mountain to carry out his unimaginable duty. Experience God's insistence on complete devotion, and the rewards He extends to those who give it. Accompany Abraham and Sarah on their incredible journey, and learn anew the overwhelming power of faith.

The British Invasion
American Music Theatre
On stage Fridays & Saturday May 2 - October 11, 2008
It’s etched in our memories forever — “Ladies and Gentlemen, The Beatles.” Adoring girls screamed, rebellious boys grew mop tops and parents cringed as the British took over rock and roll. Relive the biggest movement in pop music history with tributes to bands like The Beatles, Stones and Kinks. Remember the AM radio and television shows that catapulted these young Brits into stardom. It’s the music that reintroduced America to the blues and shaped a generation. There has been nothing like it before or since. Come experience the British Invasion.

Classic Crooners
American Music Theatre
On stage Sunday - Thursday, May 6 - October 12, 2008
Before the packaging, before the polish and before MTV, there were those suave gentlemen and sophisticated ladies that defined musical cool. They were Crooners. This show celebrates all the iconic songsters like Bing Crosby, Perry Como and Rosemary Clooney. It will recreate the infamous evenings with The Rat Pack when Frank, Dean and Sammy owned Las Vegas. They had the looks, the voices and the bands to boot... and so does AMT with an orchestra that would make Tommy Dorsey proud. Relax and remember the smooth sounds, the larger than life entertainers, the Classic Crooners.
