You'll be transported back in time...
Written in 1878, A Peep Behind the Scenes quickly sold over 2 ½ million copies. Now, over a century later, it comes to life as a powerful audio drama!
You will meet Nora, who, enticed by the lure of fame and blinded by the romance of the theatre, soon grasps the reality of what life is like behind the scenes; Augustus, who thrives in the very small world of himself; Rosalie, whose faith shines bright in a very dark world; Betsy Ann, convinced that nobody loves her because nobody ever did, until she meets the Good Shepherd, Who goes to extremes to seek and to find those are lost.
Masterfully written, produced, and sound engineered with original music scores by the world's leading creatives, Lamplighter Theatre dramas are building Christ-like character…one story at a time! Once you listen to this seven-episode epic drama, you'll will be compelled to share this unprecedented evangelistic and family redemptive drama with family, friends, and neighbors.
