The Perils of Persephone – By Dan Needles
The Perils of Persephone is a delightful Canadian comedy by Dan Needles, best known for his witty and heartwarming portrayals of rural life. Perils of Persephone is a story about what happens when city sensibilities clash with country sense. Taking place in the Township of Persephone, the area is threatened when a truck that is possibly carrying toxic waste crashes into a swamp. With a town evacuation imminent, politicians are brought in to fix the situation. Instead they end up creating a cover up, which leads to a cover up of the cover up.

Jesus Christ Superstar
– Lyrics by Tim Rice, Music by Andrew Lloyd Webber
(Musical)
What’s the buzz? The first musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice to be produced for the professional stage, Jesus Christ Superstar has wowed audiences for over 50 years. A timeless work, the rock opera is set against the backdrop of an extraordinary and universally known series of events but seen, unusually, through the eyes of Judas Iscariot. Loosely based on the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, Superstar follows the last week of Jesus Christ’s life. The story, told entirely through song, explores the personal relationships and struggles between Jesus, Judas, Mary Magdalene, his disciples, his followers and the Roman Empire.
The iconic 1970s rock score contains such well-known numbers as “Superstar,” “I Don’t Know How to Love Him” and “Gethsemane.” A true global phenomenon and perfect pick for schools, community theaters and professionals alike, Superstar continues to touch new generations of audiences and performers.
