NTC features gifted cast, music

Thursday night we had the pleasure of experiencing the Newton Community Theatre’s production of “Jesus Christ Superstar.” Fritz and I agree that it was a fitting end to the Lenten season as we approach Easter Day.

The gifted cast, the music, the outstanding orchestra, the choreography, all under the direction of Sue Beukema and Cathi Wickett are to be commended for giving our Newton Community their time and talents.

There were times that we found it difficult to applaud because we were so moved by the presentation of the scene and story. This was especially true at the very last Good Friday heart-breaking scene.

However, it was a joy to end with the resounding music of “Jesus Christ Superstar,” to remind us that Easter was coming. We stood in appreciation!

We thank you all of you for this wonderful gift.
