SYNOPSIS:
'Based on the Gospel according to St Matthew'
A small group of people help Jesus Christ tell different parables (stories) by using a wide variety of games, storytelling techniques and a hefty dose of comic timing. A diverse blend of songs, ranging in style from pop to vaudeville, is employed as the story of Jesus' life dances across the stage. Dissolving hauntingly into the Last Supper and the Crucifixion, Jesus' messages of kindness, tolerance and love come vibrantly to life.

CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS
This production is a small cast of 10 performers. 5 males and 5 females with 2 leads and 8 supporting roles. All Performers must possess a good sense of physical comedy. The ages in brackets are suggested ages so feel free to apply if you think a role suits you.

LEADS:
Jesus (17-22) Male - Tenor
He is charismatic, high energy, charming, funny, gentle, but with strength. Others instinctively follow him. The enigmatic, story telling leader of the group. He experiences a full array of emotions during the show and is a natural-born teacher.

John the Baptist/Judas (17-22) Male - Baritone
He is the most ardent disciple who begins to question and rebel. He is charismatic and handsome. He is the most "serious" and intellectual of the group and has a good sense of physical comedy.

SUPPORTING:
Anna Maria (14-16) Female - Mezzo-Soprano
A bit of a tomboy, but basically a sweetie who is open to the teachings of Jesus. She is the first of the group to commit to following Jesus.
This role also has the cast name of Robin.

George (14-18) Male - Baritone
The comedian, the proverbial class clown of the group. The guy who possesses a talent for voices and imitations. He is more of a comedian than a vocalist.
This role also has the cast name of Herb.

Celisse (14-18) Female - Mezzo-Soprano
The female equivalent of the class clown. She is the goofy one of the group. She is more of a comedian than a vocalist.
This role also has the cast name of Gilmer.

Telly (15-20) Male - Tenor
He is not the brightest of the group and is a little slow on the uptake. He has a great sweetness and innocence about him.
This role also has the cast name of Lamar.

Lindsay (16-22) Female - Soprano
She is the confident one who is a show-off. She is the first one to volunteer, but often before she really understands what is going on.
This role also has the cast name of Joanne.

Morgan (18-22) Female - Alto (low)
She is sassy, slightly cynical and she is the most urban of the group. The “sexy” one, in the manner of Madonna or Mae West. In other words it is more put-on and in fun than real.
This role also has the cast name of Sonia.

Nick (18-22) Male - Tenor (falsetto)
He is impish and playful and has a very high level of energy. Often does mischievous things just for fun.
This role also has the cast name of Jeffery.

Uzo (15-19) Female - Alto
She is the shy one of the group with an “earth mother” kind of warmth to her. She is sometimes a little slow to understand things, but when she does, she commits all the way.
This role also has the cast name of Peggy.
