LifeHouse Theater is pleased to premiere a powerful true story of radical obedience with the original musical, “Jericho: The Courage of Rahab and Joshua.” The sweeping biblical story of the battle of Jericho, its formidable walls, and God’s faithfulness comes to life on stage! Audiences can experience an epic struggle on both sides as Rahab answers God’s call to obedience behind the walls, while Joshua answers God’s call on the outside. The power of courage through great acts of faith are on display in the new musical event.
