Over 12, absolutely. The show was originally designed for teenagers so it is appropriate for anyone 12 and over. Over the years, we have worked to make the show more family-friendly as our audience has evolved to include younger children and families. The show is loud, has graphic content (specifically the crucifixion), and is an intense subject. That said, we have countless younger attendees that have an amazing experience, ages 6 and up. If you are planning on bringing children, the potentially questionable portion of the show is the 30 minutes after intermission (for the live show). The first hour and the last 20 minutes are all-ages appropriate.
The Thorn is not connected to any one particular church or denomination. It was created by a youth pastor as a way to communicate to young people the love of Jesus and the reality of the spiritual battle for our choices, destiny and identity. The Thorn is a Christian-owned production company and the show is performed by high-level artists who want to use their talent to tell Gods story. It is Biblically-based and has a 25 year history. Here are a few links to reviews and a “history of” documentary. The reviews are for the film version of the live show, which is essentially the same as the actual life show.
