New Orleans Senior Adult Trip (The Thorn)

SENIOR ADULT TRIP, New Orleans, LA

to see "THE THORN" at the historic Saenger Theater

March 17-21, 2026

"The Thorn" takes you on an energetic journey through Biblical times. A slave boy stumbles upon John, by then the last living disciple of Jesus, and encourages John to recount his memories of Christ's time on earth.

The play is a stunning scripture study extraordinaire. It takes you on a tour of the life of Jesus with emotionally powerful music, amazing scenery and dramatic visual arts.
