WHAT IS THE SHOW ABOUT?  

A NEW TIME. A NEW JERUSALEM. A NEW VISION. This summer, Epiphany Lutheran Church reimagines the legendary rock opera by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice for our modern times. Set in New York City in 2017 against the backdrop of social, political and spiritual upheaval, a prophet emerges to lead the way – but his methods and message are nothing like they expected. Jesus’ meteor-like rise in renown provides a platform for Judas to question the enlightened motives behind the Messiah’s seemingly radical approach. When questions lead to betrayal, Christ’s final days are dramatized with emotional intensity and explosive theatricality. Propelled by a stirring musical score – by turns driving and majestic, satirical and tender – JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR dares to ask “What would the world do if Jesus came today?”
 
NOTE: The Epiphany production will utilize gender-blind casting. The roles and their respective genders will be announced prior to auditions.
