Experience “Jesus Christ Superstar” like never before in this innovative, all-female presenting production at Ðǿմ«Ã½.

Set against a contemporary backdrop, this production infuses the timeless themes of love, sacrifice, and political turmoil with modern relevance. Andrew Lloyd Weber’s legendary score pulses with energy, while Tim Rice’s evocative lyrics challenge audiences to reconsider the iconic figures at the heart of the story.

Inspired by a true story and featuring the Tony-nominated score by Steve Martin and Edie Brickell, “Bright Star” tells a sweeping tale of love and redemption set against the rich backdrop of the American South in the 1920s and ’40s. When literary editor Alice Murphy meets a young soldier just home from World War II, he awakens her longing for a child that she once lost. Haunted by their unique connection, Alice sets out on a journey to understand her past — and what she finds has the power to transform both of their lives. With beautiful melodies and powerfully moving characters, the story unfolds as a rich tapestry of deep emotion. An uplifting theatrical journey that holds you tightly in its grasp, “Bright Star” is as refreshingly genuine as it is daringly hopeful.
