Picture in Scripture Amphitheater to Present Biblical Production 'Damascus Road'
'Damascus Road'
Rehearsal of a scene from this season's production of "Damascus Road: Where Saul Becomes Paul, the Greatest Apostle of All Times" at Picture in Scripture Amphitheater near Disney.
A Grand Lake Tradition
The Picture in Scripture Amphitheater's original Biblical productions have been drawing crowds for more than 30 years.
Offering a unique twist on dinner and a show, Picture in Scripture Amphitheater has been a Grand Lake tradition for more than 30 years.
Every summer, the amphitheater presents an original Biblical production. This year’s drama, “Damascus Road: Where Saul Becomes Paul, the Greatest Apostle of All Time,” opens Friday, June 28, and will run every Friday and Saturday evening through August 4.
The production features a cast of 60-plus actors, exotic live animals, including Simon, the camel, state-of-the-art surround sound, pyrotechnics and stunning special effects.
According to Linda Goldner, who co-founded Picture in Scripture Amphitheater with her husband, Bill, “Damascus Road” tells the story of Saul’s persecution of the early Church, and how the Lord spoke to his heart and changed him on the road to Damascus.
Goldner describes the production as a “pretty powerful story” that drew crowds during last year’s run. She expects this year’s show and attendance to be even better.
Located in the hills east of Disney, the 1,000-seat outdoor amphitheater has hosted more than 225,000 visitors from all 50 states and 119 foreign countries.

An evening at the amphitheater starts with dinner served in the pavilion. The menu includes charbroiled hamburgers, grilled chicken sandwiches, barbecue sandwiches and catfish, as well as light concessions.

Simon the camel and Yancy the yak will also be in the barn, as well as several animals from the production, including mini-horses and a donkey.
