The No Ordinary Story Musical is a major abridgement of the No Ordinary Story book series, adapted for the stage as a live play. It presents in music and drama a message of hope in the midst of despair. It communicates the “big picture” of the Bible for those with little or no background in the Bible, but still enjoyed by those who know much more. This stage play also serves as a bridge for attendees signing up for a more in-depth study of the Bible using the No Ordinary Story book series. GoodSeed staff can help you think through how that can be done.
