THE DETROIT ACTOR'S THEATRE COMPANY presents TIM RICE and ANDREW LLOYD WEBBER'S JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR
JUNE 22-25
DOORS AT 8:00PM | PERFORMANCES AT 9:00PM
*This rock opera incorporates video projection and will start when it is dark out.

It seems especially fitting that the first rock opera, created as a concept album at the end of the turbulent '60s, should have at its center a social and political rebel. Jesus' meteor-like rise in renown provides, as the title suggests, a parallel to contemporary celebrity worship. As his radical teachings are evermore embraced, Judas increasingly questions the enlightened motives of this new prophet, resulting in betrayal. Christ's final days are dramatized with emotional intensity, thought-provoking edge and explosive theatricality. Propelled by a stirring score (Andrew Lloyd Webber/Tim Rice), by turns driving and majestic, satirical and tender, JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR illuminates the transcendent power of the human spirit with a passion that goes straight to the heart.
