The Thorn
“The Thorn” tells the epic story of God’s love for the world and the spiritual battle for all of humanity. Often described as “Cirque meets ‘The Passion,’” The Thorn takes you through a unique theatrical experience featuring drama, music, dance, martial arts, aerial acrobatics, emotionally evocative performances, and timeless spiritual perspectives.
Tickets for THE THORN at The Bushnell go on sale at 10 AM on Thursday, July 25, and will be available online at bushnell.org, by calling (860) 987-5900 or by visiting The Bushnell Box Office at 166 Capitol Avenue (Mon-Fri from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.).
“The Thorn”, a powerful and popular live theatrical event, seen live by over one million people, will bring the passion of Jesus to life this fall with performances spanning the northeast and midwest. This follows a tour in the Spring of 2024, with over 50 performances across the country, including many sold-out shows.
“The Thorn” offers audiences a unique theatrical experience in a show that has been hailed as “Cirque meets ‘The Passion’” thanks to its compelling mix of drama, music, dance, martial arts, aerial acrobatics, emotionally evocative performances, and timeless spiritual perspectives. The story spans from creation to the formation of the early church.
Author John Bolin created the show over 25 years ago to convey the meaning of Christ’s sacrificial death to a group of young people who knew little about the story of Jesus’ suffering but were familiar with pain through their own practice of cutting and self-harm.
The show has evolved ever since, with the current live version returning to the original format featuring St. John, “the beloved disciple,” recalling his many amazing encounters with Jesus.
“It’s a story full of love, sacrifice, spiritual warfare, and redemption,” said Bolin.
