Jesus Christ Superstar

Jesus Christ Superstar 

St Peter’s Troupers are now well into rehearsals for Jesus Christ Superstar, which will be performed in St Peter’s Church, North Tawton, along with children from North Tawton Primary School, on October 17th, 18th and 19th at 7.30pm. 

The Troupers were formed in 2012, the object being to bring together members of the North Tawton group of churches, local communities and school, not just for performing but all the other important things, such as stage crew, front of house, costumes, scenery making and painting, sound and lighting and much more. 

Italso shows that more can happen in churches than worship! 

Their first production in 2012 was Joseph & the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat. 

Around 150 adults and children were involved and approximately 500 people came to see the performances. 

The Rev Rita Bullworthy said: ‘Since then we have performed Another Story Begins, - which included songs from Les Miserables, Mamma Mia! Joseph and Jesus Christ Superstar - and our production for 2017 was Oliver! Now, we are in the midst of our most ambition production yet, Jesus Christ Superstar, which has attracted several new members to the cast. 

‘Our shows offer the opportunity of conveying stories which are full of the problems still relevant to our world today, and give a wonderful opportunity of spreading the good news of the Gospel and God’s love.’ 

Performances start at 7.30pm, doors open at 7pm. Tickets £5 for adults, £3 children available by calling 01837 89169 or North Tawton Post Office, 01837 82241. 

All proceeds will be donated to Devon Air Ambulance Trust and St Petrock’s, Exeter.
