 On March 26 and 27, the SJU Theatre Company presented live, outdoor drive-in performances of “Jesus Christ Superstar” to sold-out audiences in the parking lot of Claver House. “Jesus Christ Superstar,” a rock opera with music by Andrew Lloyd Webber and lyrics by Tim Rice, depicts the last week of Jesus’s life, starting with his arrival in Jerusalem and ending with the crucifixion. The performance was directed by Renee Dobson, M.F.A., associate professor of music, theatre and film and artistic director of Bluett Theatre, and featured a cast of 16 students. 

The performance was planned outside to ensure it could be done live.
Actors wore masks at all times during the performances.
