- **Event Description**: Ross Summer Music Theatre Celebrates 63 Years with the Community Theatre Area Premiere of LEAP OF FAITH

Ross Summer Music Theatre proudly presents the Community Theatre Area Premiere of LEAP OF FAITH—the only place in the world to see this musical production this summer! Featuring music by Alan Menken, the legendary composer behind The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Newsies, and Sister Act, Leap of Faith brings an exhilarating night of entertainment inspired by the 1992 Steve Martin film of the same name.

Follow the story of Reverend Jonas Nightengale, a charming con artist and part-time preacher who arrives in a small Kansas town with his revival tent. When the determined Sheriff Marla McGowan tries to protect the townspeople from Jonas's schemes, Jonas's encounter with her and her son sparks a transformation that challenges even the most cynical to take a true leap of faith.

Featuring a soaring gospel and pop-rock score by Alan Menken and lyrics by Glenn Slater, Leap of Faith is a dynamic show where the audience becomes part of the experience, including interactive scenes and even “Jonas Bucks,” which you can use in the production.

Performances are at Reinhart Auditorium in Merrillville on Fridays and Saturdays, July 24, 25, 31 and Aug 1 at 7:30pm and Sundays, July 26 and August 2 at 3pm.   

To enhance your show experience, we offer show-themed meals at our concession stand opening 45 minutes  before showtime  for dinner and again during intermission for dessert!  See our menu attached and get your taste-buds "a-pumpin'."

We also offer family-friendly deals, including a four-ticket family pass and meal-inclusive family passes that cost less than a night at the movies.
