Spiritual but not religious is a phrase commonly used today. When The Company Theatre takes a religion-themed work to the stage, it considers every element and outcome for the theatre goer with great care. Their interpretation of Jesus Christ Superstar delves into the heart of the Gospels, leading audiences into a new discovery of the moving and radical life of Jesus. The production has the potential to possibly renew faith, or serve as a reflection the rich value of ancient history, or even renew hope in the possibility of miracles.

Both theological and historical perspectives are considered in the artistic directors' approach. Andrew Lloyd Webber's famed rock opera has the potential to be as powerful today as it was when it debuted in 1971.

Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice's Jesus Christ Superstar is inspired by the four Gospels' account of the last week in the life of Jesus, beginning with his arrival in Jerusalem and ending with the crucifixion. Radical teachings lead to the ultimate betrayal during Christ's final tumultuous days on earth. Emotionally intense and thought provoking, The Company Theatre's Jesus Christ Superstar promises to be an up close and inspirational experience.
