The Journey Inside – New Musical Adventure

September 19-21, 2025

Orpheum Theatre • Sioux Falls, SD

This is the story of three sisters from our world and three individuals from the Kingdom of Sapphire Castles. Together they embark on a thrilling, heart-pounding, thought-provoking, and emotional odyssey with it’s finale at the cave of The Dragon.

Their tale seamlessly weaves through every Lights Up Musical performed in the fall over the last six years in Sioux Falls—Mystery, Lost in Vegas, and Parables & Proverbs—featuring some of our most iconic songs from each show, alongside brand-new music and scenes, while introducing the most powerful villain of all: a 25-foot dragon. This promises to be a riveting experience like no other, with a major announcement at the end.

Hello Friends,

The Journey Inside opens on September 19th at the Orpheum Theater, and we could really use your help with promotion. As you know, this is a small cast—about 25 people total—but there’s a big way you can help and be involved.

We now have flyers and posters at our rehearsal building, and we need help distributing them anywhere and everywhere possible. Our goal is to reach 2,500 attendees this September. Above all, we want this show to inspire, challenge, and motivate as many people as possible to pursue the purpose and plans God has for them—like never before. It’s a high-energy, thrilling, and moving production.

The story reaches its climax when one of the main characters has completely lost her identity, with no knowledge of who she is or who her father is. She becomes a puppet under the control of the Coachman (a.k.a. The Dragon). Only when the dragon is slain does she realize her true identity. The five other main characters are part of that journey—and you will love their place in the adventure. (And they’re also quite funny!)

Please stop by today between 9 a.m. and noon, or tomorrow between 2:00 and 5:30 p.m. We’d love to see you.

Thank you in advance,
Brent

This video played prior to the start of our "Passion and the Cross" performances this year. People loved it! It was so fun that I thought I'd just post it "as is" right here. Plus, we can plug our sponsors one more time. And... btw, the Chef we are partnering with this September is Chef Domonique for our "Journey Inside" Food and Theatre show. ... See MoreSee Less
