Prepare ye for the timeless tale of friendship, loyalty and love based on the Broadway musical that inspired a generation. Based on The Gospel According to St. Matthew, this hit musical with book by John Michael Tebelak and music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz, will be a joyful theatrical celebration.
A group of disciples help Jesus Christ tell different parables by using a wide variety of games, storytelling techniques and a hefty dose of comic timing. An eclectic blend of songs, ranging in style from pop to vaudeville, are employed as the story of Jesus' life dances across the stage. Dissolving hauntingly into the Last Supper and the Crucifixion, Jesus' messages of kindness, tolerance and love come vibrantly to life.
Performances are on April 14, 15, and 16 at 7:30pm Friday and Saturday and 2:00pm on Sunday in the Studio Theatre. Jamie Bullins directs with Shauna Shaefer as music director. Tickets are $5.00. | Buy Tickets |
| | The Musical Comedy Murders of 1940
Mainstage Play
By John Bishop
The creative team responsible for a recent Broadway flop (in which three chorus girls were murdered by the mysterious “Stage Door Slasher") assemble for a backer’s audition of their new show at the Westchester estate of a wealthy “angel.” As the composer, lyricist, actors, and director prepare their performance, and a blizzard cuts off any possible retreat, bodies start to drop in plain sight, knives spring out of nowhere, masked figures drag their victims behind swiveling bookcases, and accusing fingers point in all directions. A wildly comic romp that is a loving satire on show biz and old Hollywood melodramas.
This production is recommended for audiences 12 years and older.
