Digital Edition

Just in time for the Lenten Season, Inifinity Theatrical Productions is back with a spring offering of Jesus Christ Superstar. The musical, which is based on the rock opera that chronicled the last few weeks of Jesus life, is filled with a variety of finger-snapping musical numbers and dance routines to keep you entertained. You dont have to be a biblical scholar to attend this musical. In fact, the emotionally charged production offers something for the entire family. Donning togas and gladiator slippers, the cast of veteran performers gives an authentic presentation. The group of actors are just as passionate about this play as they are about their craft. This is a role I wanted to do my entire life. I feel blessed, says James Fitzpatrick who plays Jesus of Nazareth. His co-star, Jim Gerherdt, has a falsetto much too sweet for the role of Judas. I get to show Judas as not the guy who turned on Jesus but as someone who is torn. He wasnt the bad guy; he was trying to do what was right. Be prepared to laugh and cry. You will not be disappointed. Infinity Theatrical Productions continues its partnership with Zion United Church of Christ. The show runs from March 5 - 21, with performances every Friday and Saturday night at 8 p.m. and on Sundays at 2 p.m. An optional dinner theatre is available on Saturday nights at 6:30 p.m. For tickets or information call 410-491-1472 or visit www.infinitytheatrical.com.
