Jesus dressed in traditional robes and a crown of thorns stands solemnly. Multiple smaller images of people performing on stage are blended into his figure. The text "The Thorn" is visible in the corner.

Created by John Bolin over 25 years ago, The Thorn was initially conceived to communicate the profound meaning of Jesus’ sacrificial death to young people struggling with pain and self-harm. Since its inception, the production has evolved into a nationwide phenomenon, known for its breathtaking visuals, emotional depth, and spiritual impact. The show combines elements of live music, drama, martial arts, and high-flying aerial performances to create a truly immersive experience.

One of the most distinctive aspects of The Thorn is its accessibility and appeal across different audiences. Originally performed in churches, the show has now expanded to major performing arts venues, allowing people from all walks of life to engage with this powerful story of faith. As Bolin emphasizes, the production aims to bring the story of Jesus to everyone, underscoring the universality of its message.

The performance at NJPAC promises to be a highlight of the Fall 2024 tour of the Thorn, with tickets already in high demand. Audiences can expect a visually and emotionally charged portrayal of the passions of Jesus, making it a must-see event for anyone interested in exploring the deeper aspects of faith and spirituality.
