An eclectic blend of songs, ranging in style from pop to vaudeville, is employed as the story of Jesus' life dances across the stage. Dissolving hauntingly into the Last Supper and the Crucifixion, Jesus' messages of kindness, tolerance and love come vibrantly to life”. **IMPORTANT**Auditions are open only to individuals who will be entering 8th grade at the beginning of the 2023-2024 school year or older.
