What’s the Buzz?
Jesus Christ Superstar is set against the backdrop of an extraordinary series of events during the final weeks in the life of Jesus Christ as seen through the eyes of Judas, who is dissatisfied with the direction in which Jesus is steering his disciples.
The play is a baroque fusion of styles, rock rhythm with ballad narrative, which succeed in communicating a humble theme of love and acceptance. Sacred themes are fused with ancient political history and modern sensibilities into an entirely new form of theater art. Jesus is portrayed as having human qualities, doubts, and faults, yet his crucifixion becomes all the more poignant for it.

“You may be an undigested bit of beef, for example, or a blob of mustard. A crumb of cheese or a fragment of an underdone potato. I’d say there’s more gravy than graveyard about you!” The miserly Ebenezer Scrooge is convinced that he's suffering from indigestion when faced with the ghost of his late business partner, Jacob Marley…and that’s just for starters!
This musical adaption of Charles Dicken’s famous novel features diverse musical styles (rock, country, gospel, polka) and varied uses of wording and language that spans from one century to the next. All the beloved (and reviled) characters show up as Scrooge learns the true meaning of Christmas.
The words and lyrics of Ebenezer – A Christmas Carol come to life from the creative imagination of North Carolina playwright Frank P. Trimble. The audience will be delighted with the wonderful choreography and unexpected comedic turns in this delightful adaptation.
Make your Christmas even brighter with this wonderful production!
