Dating back to 1999, when the theater was being rebuilt following the original facility’s growth and subsequent fire, this project challenged our team to bring the storybook vision of the theater to life. Sight & Sound Theatres is known for its grand biblical productions and immersive environments transporting audiences into the world of the story— a fully immersive environment for families and children. **Designing The Interior** The project required more than just decorative stonework; it demanded the creation of a large-scale, old-world stone aesthetic throughout the interior of the theater, including: - The main lobby and themed walls - Architectural accent details around arches and seating areas - Integration with stage and production elements to maintain the storytelling environment The design needed to feel authentically old-world, and be highly durable for high-traffic areas. **Custom Stone & Precast Development** To meet the vision, Quality Stone Veneer developed a new profile we named *Ashlar*, a large-format, sandstone-textured manufactured thin stone veneer, produced in a custom color pallet reminiscent of desert landscapes. ![Country Ashlar - Site and Sound Theater 1](https://www.qualitystoneveneer.com/hs-fs/hubfs/2026%20Case%20Studies/Sight%20and%20Sound%20Theatres/Country%20Ashlar%20-%20Site%20and%20Sound%20Theater%201.jpg?width=1300&height=975&name=Country%20Ashlar%20-%20Site%20and%20Sound%20Theater%201.jpg) **Ashlar offered:** - A handcrafted old-world appearance for immersive environments - Large-profile stones with a historic, stacked boulder look - Flexibility for curved and complex surfaces, including arches and custom features **Expansion to Branson, Missouri - 2008** In 2008, when Sight & Sound Theatres opened a replica facility in Branson, Missouri, Quality Stone Veneer brought the same stonework, detailing, and immersive theming to the new theater. By carefully recreating the Lancaster aesthetic, we ensured the Branson theater carried the same authenticity and attention to detail as the original.     **Bathroom Expansion – 2017** Finally, in 2017, Sight & Sound Theatres expanded again by adding brand-new bathroom facilities to the Lancaster location. They called upon Quality Stone Veneer to contribute once more, where we showcased some of our custom precast capabilities: - Designed custom molds to replicate old-world detailing - Produced durable, aesthetically rich precast elements that enhanced the immersive theater feel even in private spaces This attention to detail allowed visitors to feel as though they had stepped into a storybook world, where every corner of the theater contributed to the immersive experience. ![3](https://www.qualitystoneveneer.com/hs-fs/hubfs/2026%20Case%20Studies/Sight%20and%20Sound%20Theatres/3.jpg?width=622&height=466&name=3.jpg) Quality Stone Veneer is proud to have contributed to bringing stories to life through stone, helping Sight & Sound Theatres create a magical, immersive world for hundreds of thousands of visitors each year. ![1](https://www.qualitystoneveneer.com/hs-fs/hubfs/2026%20Case%20Studies/Sight%20and%20Sound%20Theatres/1.jpg?width=622&height=467&name=1.jpg) **In 2026, we’re celebrating 50 years in business—right alongside our friends at the original Sight & Sound location!** **![50 Year Black bkgrnd White Full Size](https://www.qualitystoneveneer.com/hubfs/50%20Year%20Black%20bkgrnd%20White%20Full%20Size.svg)**   --- [Back to Case Studies](https://www.qualitystoneveneer.com/case-studies?hsLang=en) #### Products Featured in this Case Study: ![Ashlar](https://2505265.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/2505265/hubfs/Stone%20Styles/400/Ashlar.jpg?width=300&name=Ashlar.jpg) Stone StylesAshlar*No Longer Available* [![Sandstone-Lambris-Sill](https://2505265.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/2505265/hubfs/Sandstone-Lambris-Sill.jpg?width=300&name=Sandstone-Lambris-Sill.jpg) Precast AccentsSandstone Sill 4 Colors ](https://www.qualitystoneveneer.com/sandstone-lambris-sill?hsLang=en)[![Siota-Sill](https://2505265.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/2505265/hubfs/Siota-Sill.jpg?width=300&name=Siota-Sill.jpg) Precast AccentsSiota Accents4 Colors   ](https://www.qualitystoneveneer.com/en/siota-sill?hsLang=en) ![Stone Pattern background](https://www.qualitystoneveneer.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Stone%20Pattern%20background.jpg?width=300&name=Stone%20Pattern%20background.jpg) #### Request a Free AIA Accredited Lunch and Learn.
