Have you seen one of the Bible based plays at the Sight and Sound theater before?  If not, you are in for a treat!  Branson has featured Samson, Jesus, Jonah, David, Noah, Queen Esther and more over the years.

Queen Esther’s story is prominently featured in the Book of Esther. According to the biblical narrative, Esther was a Jewish queen of the Persian king Ahasuerus (Xerxes I). The story is set in the city of Susa in ancient Persia.

The central plot revolves around Esther’s bravery and intelligence. Esther, an orphan raised by her cousin Mordecai, is chosen as the new queen through a beauty contest. The story takes a dramatic turn when Haman, the king’s chief advisor, plots to annihilate the Jewish people. Mordecai urges Esther to use her position to intercede on behalf of her people.

Esther, risking her life, approaches the king without an invitation, a move punishable by death. However, the king favors her and grants her request. The tables turn, and the Jewish people are saved from the plot.
