Auditions for Summer Advanced Musical Camp:
Set in a Homeless Teen Shelter, a small group of homeless teens and shelter staff help the new arrival (Jesus) tell different parables by using a wide variety of games, storytelling techniques with hefty doses of comic timing and societal reflection. An eclectic blend of songs, ranging in style from pop to vaudeville, is employed as the story of Jesus' life dances across the stage. Hauntingly dissolving into the Last Supper and the Crucifixion, Jesus' messages of kindness, tolerance and love in today's society come vibrantly to life.
