Based on history and the Gospels, this 2013 telling of the masterpiece depicts the last week in the life of Jesus Christ, including the triumphal entry into Jerusalem, the clearing of the Temple, the trial before Pilate, and the crucifixion.
The passionate depiction of characters, crisis, struggle, and tragedy through the medium of rock music has stunned and inspired audiences for decades. Jesus Christ Superstar is directed by Keith Edie, CWU senior lecturer, theatre arts-performance, with David Brown, as musical director, and Terri Brown, professor, musical theatre studies, as vocal coach.
The production is recommended for audiences 16 years and older.
Parking at CWU is free after 4:30 p.m., and on weekends, except in specially designated spaces and residence hall lots.
