When Jesus Christ Superstar was first released in 1971 as a concept album, it was so controversial that it sparked mass protests every night of its original run on Broadway. The American Jewish Committee said that the show would spark antisemitism due to its depiction of the antagonistic high priests. Theologians hated it for its blasphemous depictions of romance between Jesus and Mary Magdalene, and its sensitive portrayal of Judas Iscariot, a man often considered to be the ultimate sinner. Many people just thought it was plain vulgar for depicting a biblical story through rock and roll.
Pope Paul VI said, “I believe [this show] will bring more people around the world to Christianity, than anything ever has before.” Whether or not his prediction is accurate is up to debate, but it’s undeniably true that Jesus Christ Superstar has made its mark on history. It has been revived on Broadway several times, sold hundreds of millions of copies as an album, and is well-cemented in the popular mind. As a religious adaptation of the Bible, it does not fully hit the mark with accuracy to Scripture or Christian meaning- but it was never meant to. This is a deeply political show, and when read through that lens, it is beyond a doubt successful.

Earth Planet Universe is a musical production exploring the path forged by John Muir, often considered the father of our National Parks.  Join him on a 'hike' in the air-conditioned comfort of the Art Barn to explore National Park sites and learn about his life and the Native Americans who lived in each location for millennia.  As these stories intertwine through song and dialogue, the audience is inspired by John Muir’s example to ask themselves what legacy they want to leave for others. Doors open at 5:30 pm for the 7:00 performance and 12:30 pm for the 2:00 pm performance. Bring your own picnic and visit with eco-purposed, non-profit groups to learn more about what they do and how to get involved.
