Stage is set for presentation of Jesus Christ Superstar

The cast of Jesus Christ Superstar, presented by Creative Minds Youth Productions, is now busy putting the final touches to its presentation of the acclaimed and award-winning musical, which will be staged from this Sunday, July 17 to Wednesday, July 20 at the White Memorial Theatre in Clonmel.

Jesus Christ Superstar is one of the best known works of composer Andrew Lloyd Webber (pictured).

Creative Minds is a voluntary theatre group directed by Jennifer Williams.

It was established by Jennifer Williams and Trevor Somers last November.

The group’s first production was Brian Friel’s Lovers, which ran over the course of five weeks in various venues including Raheen House, Gealach Gorm Theatre and Clonacody House.

Tickets for Jesus Christ Supetar cost €15 and are on sale in Premier Music, Clonmel.

The cast is made up of teenagers from Clonmel, Cashel, Cahir, Fethard and Tipperary town.

The role of Jesus will be performed by Joe Sheehan.

He is ably supported by Darragh Johnson (Judas), Sinéad O’Donovan (Mary Magdalene), Daniel Traas (Pilate) and many other fantastic young actors.

The show is directed and produced by Jennifer Williams, with musical direction from Eamon O’Malley and choreography by Rosie Mai Fitzgerald.
