About the Show

Pilgrim’s Progress
March 26, 27 and April 2, 3, 4 2027

Experience the journey of The Pilgrim’s Progress as Christian escapes the City of Destruction and faces dangers, temptations, and the deceitful delights of the world on his way toward life everlasting. Through thoughtful storytelling and imaginative staging, John Bunyan’s timeless allegory will come to life on stage.

Our show will feature an original score (debuting in Sandpoint) by Joshua Washington and a live choir. We hope this production will be a meaningful companion for the Easter season. Auditions for both actors and choir members will take place this October.
