~~~ Segment ONE ~~~
Jesus Christ Superstar At SLOC
- Trish Scott-Dembling, Director/Choreographer
- Veronica Lybrand “Mary Magdalene” – Performing
Loosely based on the Gospels, Superstar follows the last week of Jesus Christ’s life. It explores the personal relationships and struggles between Jesus, Judas, Mary Magdalene, his disciples, his followers and the Roman Empire. This rock opera is set against the backdrop of an extraordinary and universally-known series of events but seen, unusually, through the eyes of Judas Iscariot. Jesus Christ Superstar illuminates the transcendent power of the human spirit with a passion that goes straight to the heart.
Veronica will be singing “I Don’t Know How to Love Him”

Paris Time at theREP
- Maggie Mancinelli Cahill, Producing Artistic Director
- Tom Templeton “Philippe”
Maggie and Tom will talk about the world premiere of Steven Peterson’s Paris Time, directed by Gordon Greenberg.
A gripping and sophisticated drama that looks behind the headlines at anti-Semitism in today’s France. When Deborah, the wife of a successful American executive based in Paris, becomes an activist defending a young Jewish Frenchwoman, Charles gets caught in the corporate hot seat. Company policy demands him to withdraw from the political limelight or lose his career, but if he won’t get involved, he may lose his marriage. With everything on the line, this winner of theREP’s Next Act Play Summit 5, brings today’s issues right into our living rooms.
