Night at the Bible Museum – Christian Musical for Kids and Teens

Perfect for:

  • Church choirs looking for fresh, fun ideas
  • School groups seeking creative outreach events
  • Community organizations wanting to bring people together

DESCRIPTION:

Goliath is terrorizing everyone, but David is too busy writing his Psalms. And Samson's donkey jawbone has been stolen, and he is out of his mind chasing after Balaam's talking donkey, Blatherskite, who would rather keep his own jawbone attached. Treasure hunter Tuck Avalancheski is raiding the museum in search of the Lost Ark. Heroes and villains abound! Can Casey restore order to the museum before it is too late?

Night at the Bible Museum

This is no ordinary walk-through of Bible stories! Night at the Bible Museum stacks quirky personalities, clever back-and-forth, and laugh-out-loud punch lines that work for kids and grown-ups alike. The score is sticky - you'll catch yourself singing later - and Rainwater songs are famously easy for young casts to learn. Styles roam from classic and rock to vaudeville, jazz, and lighthearted whimsy!

Invite your congregation, classroom, or local group into a Rainwater night that feels fresh and fun. Goofy heroes and witty scrapes keep the energy high, yet the heart of the show points straight to Scripture and salvation in Jesus.

Wander through faith, friendship, and God's bigger plan on a soundtrack that stays with you and a story that never feels flat!

Everyone you bring will have a blast - and God's love gets a clear path into their hearts.

Don't pass up this chance to share the gospel and make a difference that sticks!

Listening CD Benefits for the Choir Director

  • Save time and improve your rehearsals!
  • A clear and consistent reference, so you can focus your limited time on teaching, and introducing musical concepts and styles, rather than explaining melodies and lyrics and dialogue.
  • Choir members can practice at home, leading to more productive rehearsal time focused on refining performance rather than learning parts.

Benefits for the Choir Member

  • Increased Confidence: Listening to the CD helps choir members become familiar with the music, boosting their confidence in their ability to perform.
  • Better Retention of Material: Regularly listening to the songs aids memory retention, allowing members to recall melodies and lyrics more easily during practice and performances.
  • Encourages Active Engagement: The CD promotes active listening and engagement with the music, which can enhance overall musicality and performance skills.
  • Supports Diverse Learning Styles: Members who may struggle with reading music can benefit from auditory learning, making it easier for them to grasp their parts.
  • Fosters a Sense of Community: Practicing together with a common resource can strengthen bonds among choir members, as they share the experience of learning the same material.

Accompaniment Stereo and Split Track CD for Night at the Bible Museum

This musical has two discs: Stereo Tracks CD and Split Tracks CD. Split Tracks for rehearsals, and music-only Stereo Tracks for performances.

Digital Product Includes:

Split Tracks Disc (tracks 1 thru 99) have choir performance vocals on the left channel, and a mono mix of the music on the right channel. For convenience during rehearsals, songs can be cued at multiple rehearsal marker points. The Split Tracks can be used in performances also - the vocal channel can be played through stage monitors as an aid to help guide your choir if necessary.
