Fee Hedrick Family Entertainment Group

Pigeon Forge, TN- GOOD FRIDAY, April 14, 2006 will mark the beginning of a new entertainment era for East Tennessee. The Miracle Theater (formerly the Louise Mandrell Theater) will open its doors featuring its headlining show: THE MIRACLE.

THE MIRACLE is an original, musical production based on the life and miracles of Jesus Christ. The creative minds of the Fee Hedrick Family Entertainment Group (owners of Comedy Barn Theater and Black Bear Jamboree Theater), worked collaboratively with the award winning team of playwright; Linda Nell Cooper and composer; David Legg to produce the most theatrically exciting, yet biblically accurate musical retelling of miraculous events from Creation to the Glorious Ascension.

More than a passion play, THE MIRACLE features 90% musical content, with a mix of soaring original scores, and arrangements of inspirational, familiar songs of faith. An emphasis is placed on the epic struggle between forces of good and evil, as an underlying theme of spiritual warfare provides an extra dramatic dimension. Exciting angelic aerial battles take place right above the audience. Live animals, including camels, donkeys, and other biblical-period creatures proceed right through the theater! Three-dimensional video effects using front and rear-screen projection and state-of-the-art special effects place THE MIRACLE, a multi-million dollar production, in the same entertainment category as any show available in Vegas or on Broadway today!

THE MIRACLE can be enjoyed Monday through Saturday at 8:00pm with matinees on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday afternoons at 2:00.

The Miracle Theater will also be the home of Triumphant Quartet’s Southern Gospel Morning Show, scheduled to open April 16 at 10:00AM.

NOW is the time to schedule interviews with cast members, the writing or creative team, animal trainers, the management, or ownership of THE MIRACLE! Custom Media tours of the property are available upon request.
