The situation gets even worse when Laura, Greg's beautiful but manipulative sister arrives. Soon Jan finds herself tormented by strange sounds in the night, and visions of the vengeful ghost.

Jesus Christ Superstar

May 14 - 23, 2010

By Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber. This rock opera highlights the political and interpersonal struggles of Judas Iscariot and Jesus. The story is based on the canonical gospels' accounts of the last week of Jesus' life, beginning with Jesus and his followers arriving in Jerusalem and ending with the Crucifixion. Twentieth-century attitudes and sensibilities as well as contemporary slang pervade the lyrics, and ironic allusions to modern life are scattered throughout the political depiction of the events. Stage and film productions accordingly feature many intentional anachronisms. Appropriate for ages 13 and older.
