Classic rock opera at Workshop Workshop Theatre's interpretation of Jesus Christ Superstar, the Andrew Lloyd Webber-Tim Rice classic rock opera, will play from May 7 through June 5 2004 , with a 3 p.m. Sunday matinee on May 16.
Sponsored by
Blue Cross Blue Shield

Jesus Christ Superstar is a re-telling of the final seven days in the life of Jesus. The story is told from the perspectives of Jesus and Judas, starting just before the disciples' entrance into Jerusalem up through Jesus' crucifixion. This version of the biblical text attempts neither to confirm nor deny the divinity of Christ. Rather, it focuses on the humanity of Jesus and how his humanity has affected the world.

Expect loud music and intensely spiritual moments. "But don't expect to find a nostalgic look at bygone hippy days or a re-creation of ancient Jerusalem in this production", says Director Scott Blanks. "Our goal is to challenge audiences to look at the 'greatest story every told' from a 21st century perspective."

"Regardless of your religious beliefs, this is a story of an extraordinary man who led an exemplary life and paid the ultimate sacrifice for the betterment of mankind," Blanks says. The story is as powerful today as it was in biblical times and will continue to be just as relevant in the future.

Members' box office opens Wednesday, April 28, while the general public can purchase tickets starting Monday, May 3 at noon. Call 799-6551 daily between noon and 5:30 pm. Ticket prices are $16 for adults, $14 for age 60 and over, students w/ID, and active duty military. Group rates available for weeknight performances. Charge tickets by telephone and they will be at the theatre the day of the performance.

Native American Beadwork
Instructor: Will Moreau,  Columbia, SC Class size limited to 12
September 11 & 18, 2004, 1--5 pm
Registration deadline:  September 2
Tuition:  $85.00

A two-day workshop designed for the beginner.  The class will address the historical, cultural and economic importance of beads and design in the Native American culture.  Participants will begin by making their own bead loom from wood and  .  Then several stitching patterns will be taught.  Although this type of beadwork is intricate and time-consuming in nature all workshop attendees should be able to create, from start to finish, a bracelet by the end of the second session.  Will inherited a rich tradition of craft-making from his ancestors, whose skills were passed down from generation to generation among members of his large extended family.  By the age of fifteen, Will himself, was teaching younger children and exposing them to a wide variety of Cherokee art forms.   He has worked with Native American people, organizations, and agencies for over 27 years and has an integral role with the Eastern Cherokee, Southern Iroquois, and United Tribes of South Carolina, Inc., a non-profit organization "dedicated to the preservation and perpetuation of South Carolina Native American history, culture and heritage."
