What’s The Buzz! - ‘Superstar’ at St. Clement’s, Corpus Christi

Well, now. To hear about Jesus Christ in a Catholic church is not unusual, but to see a performance of Jesus Christ Superstar in one is another thing altogether. But in a sense, these performers can be regarded as answering to a higher authority. All of which is to say that the public is invited to enjoy 28 performing parishioners, plus a full band, comprised of all ages from middle school through adult, both amateur and professional, with proceeds going to benefit St. Clement’s partnership with Water to Thrive to help build water wells in Ethiopia. Jesus Christ Superstar will be performed next Thursday, Friday and Saturday, January 16 – 18 at St. Clement’s Church, and January 23 – 25 at Corpus Christi in Round Lake. All shows have a 7:30 p.m. start time. The director is Karey Hall-Trimmings, with musical direction by Matt Duclos and Choreography by Tina Baird. Tickets are $10 general admission and are available at the St. Clement’s Parish Office for all shows. For more information, call (518) 584-6122. Oh, and while MY higher authority has sworn me to secrecy about specific details, I am permitted to say that a special “extra” scene has been added at the end to assure that everyone will be happy with the ending of the story… like one of the show’s song titles: everything’s alright.
