The boundary breaking rock opera “JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR”, will finally see the light of a new day on Friday, April 18th sponsored by the Twentynine Palms Kiwanis.

The gala will feature heavy Hors d-oeuvres that will be “Good Friday friendly”, drinks, dessert and a silent auction beginning at 6:00PM. Remaining tickets for opening night are still available by calling 760-972-7205. This modernistic retelling of “The Greatest Story Ever Told” will continue on-stage for three weekends through May 4th. With lyrics and music by the legendary team of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice, “JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR” is a passionate story without being a passion play, the musical providing a soaring unapologetic rock score.

Featuring Scott Clinkscales, Booker Harrap, & Catt Christine, “Jesus Christ Superstar” is rated 13+ for violence and adult content that may not be appropriate for younger audiences.

The remaining performances weekends can be purchased now through theatre29.org.

This production is proudly supported by Visit 29. Find out more about Twentynine Palms events and lodging at visit29.org
