The Thorn
''

Written by youth pastor John Bolin, the first production of The Thorn debuted in 1996 at The New Life Church located in Colorado Springs, Colorado. This truly epic version of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ was first held in the small church fellowship hall, where the production quickly sold out. In 1997 The Thorn was held in the church’s larger auditorium, but turned away an estimated 20,000 people. Each year The Thorn drew more crowds, and added more productions. In 2005 The Thorn filled it’s new 6,000 seat facility, four times larger than the previous auditorium. This year in Colorado Springs, beginning Friday, April 3rd, an estimated 50,000 people will be awed by the action and special effects of The Thorn. The New Life Church will host 8 performances with the possibility of additional performances as needed. 2009 also brings new venues as The Thorn has expanded its performances to Charleston, SC and Minneapolis, MN.
