SUPERHERO Through the Years

SUPERHERO – the story of a man called Jesus, has been in the company’s repertoire since 2006. It has become one of GHDT’s most well-known and most-loved shows. SUPERHERO tells the story of Jesus from Palm Sunday through the Resurrection. Numerous company members have been able to portray the characters in this story, and a multitude of students have been able to participate in the show as townspeople. SUPERHERO has touched so many hearts, of both dancers and audience members.

This year is going to be the last year to see this performance before it goes into the GHDT Vault. To celebrate the show, let’s take some time to look back at each character and what they bring to the story, along with which company members have portrayed each role over the past 12 years.
