What does it take to bring a massive ark, hundreds of animals, and a timeless biblical story to life on stage? In this episode, we sit down with Ryan Miller, lead producer of the 30th-anniversary revival of Noah at Sight & Sound Theatres. From building towering set pieces to training real animals (yes, real ones!) and animatronic companions, Ryan shares the rich legacy of this flagship show and the powerful message it carries.

Whether you've never seen a Sight & Sound production or you're a longtime fan, this behind-the-scenes conversation will give you a deeper appreciation for the craft, creativity, and calling behind these "Broadway-style Bible musicals." (Ryan’s words? Not quite—but we think it fits!)

🧱 Key Takeaways


The Legacy of Noah: First staged in 1995, Noah marked a turning point for Sight & Sound and helped define their identity as storytellers of epic biblical theater.


Faithful Storytelling: This updated production adds emotional and spiritual depth to Noah’s world, highlighting the darkness around him—and his unshakable daily faithfulness.


The Spectacle: No LED screens here—this production leans into traditional, handcrafted magic with immersive staging, life-sized animatronics, and over 100 real animals.


Generational Impact: Kids who saw the show 30 years ago are now bringing their kids, creating a legacy of inspiration through theater.


Encouragement for the Faithful: Ryan hopes this show inspires those quietly and faithfully doing God's work to keep going—because their reward is coming.
