Overview
Back in July, Basement Theatre sent out an APB to its wider community of ‘Basementeers’ requesting pitches for a 2015 Christmas extravaganza that would make Basement Theatre a holiday season destination of choice. Proposals for the event could include anything and everything, provided the idea met certain criteria – an inclusive celebration for the community; engagement with a core audience seeking an alternative Xmas experience; a showcase of Basement Theatre’s creative potential.
The votes were tallied and it was the creative team behind last year’s JC Superstar who have been charged with delivering a next level Christmas musical. Jesus Christ Part II – The Basement’s Christmas Show is directed by Oliver Driver and features a mammoth rotating cast of screen and stage stars including Antonia Prebble, Amanda Billing, Rose Matafeo, Jacquie Brown, Nic Sampson, Guy Montgomery and Michael Hurst.
Humanity just isn’t trending, so God decides to send Jesus back to earth for a second go at uniting the human race. This time Jesus is determined not to get voted off the island. Each night the audience decides, has he nailed it, or will he once again get nailed to the cross?
Christmas party functions can be booked for larger groups, but get in quick as the Christmas Show has a tendency to sell out.
