DIRECTOR'S NOTES

I don't think you're supposed to like this show.

That probably doesn't inspire confidence right now. You've seen the ads, you've heard all sorts ofpublicity, you've bought the tickets and dressed up nicely, found a babysitter, and driven all theway out to Warrenton to see this thing - and now the Director is giving you this critical bit ofinformation that might have been useful weeks ago.

Will you LOVE this show? Yes. Will you be deeply moved by it? Yes. Will you be filled with apowerful range of emotions, be brought along on an incredible journey we all know, yet havenever experienced in such an intimate and passionate way? Yes. Will you rock to the incrediblescore, gasp at the lighting and costumes, be overwhelmed by the talent before you and cry at thesheer volume of humanity that pours out from our stage? Absolutely.

But... will you LIKE it?

"Jesus Christ Superstar" is a tough challenge for a western audience. We are called to connectand identify with characters we have known since childhood in ways that aren't comfortable. Bythe end of the show we will see the perspectives and sense the urgency that drives theirmotivations in unique and touching ways. By the end of the show, we all become, in a real sense,Mary Magdalene, who doesn't understand what her relationship should be with this powerfulfigure. We become Caiaphas and Annas, who deeply wish to preserve their culture and protecttheir people from harm. We become Pilate, who is faced with an impossible choice with nopossibility of success. We become Peter, who realizes with great sadness how limiting hismortality truly is. We become the Apostles, followers of a great hero that don't understand thelarger realities until far too late. We become soldiers, and townspeople, and maids and carpentersand more, who are swept into a story much larger than themselves. And, most uncomfortably, webecome Judas, who betrays a lifelong friend and mentor and must reconcile the burden of whatthat truly means.

Almost three years ago, my team and I set out to create a historically accurate, visually vivid, andprofoundly thought provoking interpretation of Andrew Lloyed Webber and Tim Rice'smasterpiece. While we hope you like it, that wasn't the goal. To this Director, the reason theTheatre is the greatest form of communication is because it has the highest possibility of passingmeaning along to an audience in a personal way. I'll leave it up to you to determine what thevision was and what the meaning might be, and what it means to you. But you will not leave thistheater without having been moved beyond measure.

Suffice it to say, this cast and crew has worked harder than I have ever seen in the theatre,community or professional. I am immensely proud of what we have achieved. Enjoy thisperformance and thank you very much for coming to see this incredible show.

Matt MooreDirectorFCT's Production of Jesus Christ Superstar

During "Hosanna" (Scene #7) we request that if you're willing, as Jesus and theapostles process into Jerusalem, you join the crowd by standing and wavingyour palm frond in excitement. The words the cast will sing during this momentare: "Hosanna, Heysanna, Sanna Sanna Ho, Sanna Heysanna Hosanna.Hey JC, JC, Won't you fight for me? Sanaa Hosanna Hey Superstar!"
