Maricopa Community Theatre is excited to announce auditions for Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice’s legendary rock opera, Jesus Christ Superstar! We are seeking a diverse and dynamic cast of singers and actors to bring this powerful musical to life.
ABOUT THE SHOW: This modernized production of Jesus Christ Superstar will set the events in present-day times, drawing striking parallels between the story of Jesus and today’s celebrity culture. Exploring the political and interpersonal struggles between Jesus, Judas, and other key figures, the show highlights themes of media influence, public perception, and the cost of fame. This high-energy rock opera features iconic songs like “Superstar,” “I Don’t Know How to Love Him,” and “Gethsemane.”
This production will be directed by Brittany Randolph and will perform May 28th – 31st 2025 at Leading Edge Academy, Maricopa. Tickets are on sale now! Purchase here and use the code “WHATSTHEBUZZ” for $5 off online!
It’s showtime!
Join us this summer for a thrilling, hilarious, and slightly spooky musical adventure in Beetlejuice Jr. — the junior version of the Broadway hit based on Tim Burton’s iconic film! Campers, ages 8-18, will sing, dance, and act their way through this high-energy, wildly imaginative story about life, death, and everything in between.
Over the course of this six-week camp, students will work together to bring the world of the recently deceased (and the dearly dramatic Beetlejuice) to life. From building characters and mastering musical numbers to exploring comedic timing and stage movement, every camper will get a chance to shine—whether they’re a seasoned performer or stepping onstage for the first time.
Camp culminates in a fully staged performance for family and friends, complete with costumes, lights, and all the ghostly fun you can handle.
Dates: Mondays – Fridays, beginning June 2nd
Time: 7pm – 9pm
Location: Leading Edge Academy Maricopa Cafeteria
Performance: July 9th – 11th at 7pm and July 12th at 2pm
No experience necessary – just a love for performing and a sense of humor!
Spots are limited, so grab your handbook to the recently deceased and sign up HERE… it’s going to be a killer time!
As Maricopa Community Theatre embarks on a new chapter, we want to take a moment to express our deepest gratitude to Carrie Vargas, the visionary founder and artistic director who has shaped this organization into what it is today. Her dedication, passion, and incredible leadership has inspired countless artists, volunteers, and audience members over the years. She has cultivated a space where creativity and community thrive, and her impact will be felt for generations to come.
We are also thrilled to announce the appointment of Brittany Randolph as our new Artistic Director. With a wealth of experience and a shared passion for the arts, Brittany is poised to continue the legacy of excellence and growth here at MCT. We’re excited for the future and look forward to all the incredible productions and opportunities that lie ahead.
Additional changes resulted in David Vargas being named President and Cherish Forbes as Vice President. We have also made the decision to expand our current Board of Directors. Chase Randolph remains as the Director of Finance, with Michelle Kurban joining as Secretary, Janelle Paris as Director of Marketing, and Andrew Coonts-Kapoor as Director of Community Relations.
Thank you, Carrie, for your unwavering commitment, and welcome, Brittany, to the next exciting chapter of our journey. Here’s to many more years of creativity, collaboration, and community!
