DENVER – March 15, 2016 – Enjoy an engaging evening with effervescent storyteller and author Jennifer Wilder Morgan as she takes the stage with animated characters and scenery from her highly-anticipated book, Come to the Garden. Fathom Events and Eakin Films are bringing Come to the Garden – On Stage! to select U.S. cinemas for one night on Tuesday, May 3 at 7:00 p.m. local time. This exclusive event includes a post-event discussion with special guest and New York Times best-selling author of The Shack, Wm Paul Young.

Tickets for “Come to the Garden – On Stage!” can be purchased online by visiting www.FathomEvents.com or at participating theater box offices. Fans throughout the U.S. will be able to enjoy the event in more than 400 movie theaters through Fathom’s Digital Broadcast Network.

“I am very excited to be a part of this special event,” says Chonda Pierce. “Jennifer’s story will truly captivate audiences, as viewers will feel like they are a part of the story while they go on this journey with the characters.”

Join Jennifer as she shares her story, exploring her deepest fears and most life-changing discoveries, and recreates the private garden where she first opened her heart to The Divine. With guidance from her humorous guardian angel (Chonda Pierce) Jenn journeys through a human understanding of the unknown, and renders it ultimately knowable through the inspired inner voices she believes are available to us all.

Featuring character voiceover performances from Emmy-winner and Today Show host Kathie Lee Gifford, Academy Award-winner™ Louis Gossett, Jr., and popular faith comedienne Chonda Pierce, this feature-length professional stage show will use groundbreaking three-dimensional projection technology to fuse live-action and animation, creating a unique and immersive experience on the big screen.

“We are thrilled to partner with Eakin Films to bring Jennifer’s work to the big screen. With such a talented cast, this event is sure to entertain on a variety of emotional levels,” said Fathom Events Vice President of Programming Kymberli Frueh.

Frank Eakin, president of Eakin Films, said, “Working with Fathom to present the first-ever author 3D cinema event of its kind has been exhilarating. Jennifer’s authenticity and insights into the hope and healing that result from Divine encounters, together with the stage experience created by our 3D pioneers, deliver a unique and moving experience for faith audiences.”
