Superstar Dream: THE BELIEVERS national tour
SuperStar Dream: THE BELIEVERS is the story of the original disciples of Jesus Christ walking in 2013!
Description
What would the world be like if the original Apostles walked today? They'd probably look like a combination of a rock & hip hop band!

No need to wonder you'll see for yourself in Superstar Dreams: THE BELIEVERS!
Plot Outline
Jesus went to pray in the final hours and told the disciples, "My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with me." In such a deep moment what did they do? Fall asleep 3 times! The first question asked may be why were they so tired... but the writer of this epic production poses the question, "What were they dreaming about while asleep?" SuperStar Dreams: THE BELIEVERS
You must rsvp to schedule an audition time BEFORE 1pm.
Just a quick rehearsal reminder its tomorrow from 2-5pm. We'll be there early so we can have a production meeting at 1:30 and start rehearsal on time at 2pm.

Description
What would the world be like if the original Apostles walked today? They'd probably look like a combination of a rock & hip hop band! Mary and Martha Magdelene would be the stars of the Bad Girls Club beefing with Lady Gaga and Beyonce! The religious leaders of today probably wouldn't accept any of them. No need to wonder you'll see for yourself in Superstar Dreams: THE BELIEVERS!
Plot Outline
Jesus went to pray in the final hours and told the disciples, "My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with me." In such a deep moment what did they do? Fall asleep 3 times! The first question asked may be why were they so tired... but the writer of this epic production poses the question, "What were they dreaming about while asleep?" SuperStar Dreams: THE BELIEVERS
