Columbia Center for the Arts presents one of the most popular rock opera's of all times: Jesus Christ Superstar, music by Andrew Lloyd Webber and lyrics by Time Rice.
The production will be directed by Hood River Valley High School music director and long-time CAST director Mark Steighner.
The show will open on July 8 with shows continuing on July 9, 14, 15 and 16 at 7:30 p.m. and a matinee on July 10 at 2 p.m. There will also be a preview dress rehearsal on July 7.
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, 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.
Tickets are $15 for adults, $12 for students and seniors (62+), $8 for children 11 and under and $10 for groups of 10 or more.
Tickets are on sale at Columbia Art Gallery and Waucoma Bookstore in Hood River and online at www.columbiaarts.org.
