Fauquier Community Theatre presents SUPERHEROES!

Directed by Katy Benko Miner, the comedy Superheroes is performed by the students of the FCT PACE (Performing Arts Continuing Education) Program. Youth ages 8 to 13 take on multiple roles including Batman and Robin, Superman, Spiderman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, and more! The play will be streamed online this summer and is produced by special arrangement with Playscripts, Inc.

Synopsis: For superheroes, saving the world is tough, but the time spent away from work is tougher. The Hulk has to do taxes, a crime-fighting sidekick joins a support group, and Batman goes stir-crazy without enough criminals to take down. SUPERHEROES is a funny, fast-paced series of vignettes that explores how the caped crusaders deal with life in street clothes.

Jesus Christ Superstar may be opening in September 2021 with outdoor performances. Rehearsals have been online and will gradually move to in-person. Be ready for director Matt Moore to bring this musical to outdoor theatre that adds in so many new options to wow audiences! More information coming soon. Current ticket holders from the postponed show in 2020 will be notified first for ticketing and options.
