DESCRIPTION:
Performed by the Avondale Theatre Company the weekend of July 19-21, 2012. This original production of Andrew Lloyd Webber & Tim Rice's rock opera was put together in only three weeks of building and rehearsals at Avondale High School in Auburn Hills, Michigan. The band was prerecorded in the three months preceding. The entire cast and crew was made up of current high school students, alumni going all the way back to the class of 1989, younger kids from elementary and middle schools, and two teachers. My primary responsibility was the music arrangement, vocal direction, and video effects editing... I also (reluctantly) played Jesus because I was the only one in the company who was vocally comfortable with the part.

This is dedicated in memory of Rick Shelley (Pontius Pilate) who sadly passed away only five weeks after this performance.
