SUMMARY:Performance:Jesus Christ Superstar
DESCRIPTION:Step into a bold new interpretation of Jesus Christ Superstar\, the electrifying rock opera that captures the final days of Jesus\, told through the eyes of Judas. Our production dives deep into the humanity of these iconic figures\, revealing how their relationships and decisions are shaped by the systems of power around them.\n\nIn an effort to create new opportunities and push boundaries\, many roles have been gender-bent\, allowing women and AFAB performers to shine in vocal parts that challenge and inspire\, while also offering a new lens on these characters. This approach breaks from tradition\, distancing the figures from their biblical origins and presenting them as complex\, relatable people.\n\nWe aren’t telling a biblical or historical tale here—this is Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice’s work of fiction\, and our production treats it that way. Any resemblance to real-life events or people is purely coincidental\, as every artistic decision was made to serve this story. Experience the rock opera that continues to challenge and inspire—like you've never seen before!

SUMMARY:Performance:John Proctor Is the Villain
DESCRIPTION:Written soon after the #MeToo movement entered the national conversation\, this momentous\, touching\, and laugh-out-loud funny play explores themes of trust\, betrayal\, and the abuse of power as experienced by a group of high school friends. Set in a small Georgia town where everybody knows everybody else’s business\, *John Proctor Is the Villain* focuses on the students in a high school literature class\, and particularly on a group of girls who have strong and sometimes complicated friendships with each other. As the students discuss Arthur Miller’s *The Crucible* with their beloved teacher Mr. Smith – and as they explore\, in an after-school club\, what feminism means to them – they begin to see echoes between this classic American play about the Salem witch trials and events unfolding in their world. As those events come to a shocking climax\, their assessment of the heroes and villains in *The Crucible*\, and in their own lives\, changes forever.\n\nWritten by Kimberly Belflower\nDirected by Halena Kays\n\nRecommended Ages: 15+
