ABOUT JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR

Jesus Christ Superstar is set against the backdrop of an extraordinary and universally known series of events but seen, unusually, through the eyes of Judas Iscariot. Loosely based on the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, Superstar follows the last week of Jesus Christ’s life. The story told entirely through song, explores the personal relationships and struggles between Jesus, Judas, Mary Magdalene, his disciples, his followers and the Roman Empire.

Kathy Connolly directs The MAC Players’ production of Jesus Christ Superstar, aided by Victoria Keiser (Assistant Director), Eric Sayre (Musical Director) and Samantha Amaral (Choreographer). The play stars Chris Morrisy (Jesus), Aidan Panno (Judas), Emily DeMaio (Mary Magdalene), Rach Phelan (Pontius Pilate), Lizzy Stefanic (King Herod), Patrick Comey (Annas), John Paul Durazzo (Caiaphas), Conor McCormick (Simon) and Brenden Kortenhaus (Peter).

Director Kathy Connolly is an award-winning actor, director, choreographer and teaching artist. She has performed extensively in productions on and off-Broadway and in regional and national tours.
