Having grown up in Bucks County, PA, I used to shoot a lot of concerts in the Philadelphia area before I moved to New York.  I always loved beautiful lighting and the allure of the stage.   I had seen for the first time in the spring of 2001, at the Keswick Theatre, Midnight Productions' staging of "Jesus Christ Superstar."  It was exciting and memorable.  Under the direction of Newton Gilchrist, a more powerful presentation of this musical you will not experience.  The lighting design by the immensely talented Alan Doak is spectacular.  The following year I was asked if I would shoot production photos of the show for the company.   I was delighted to have the opportunity and accepted the offer. 

Shooting these pictures for the production of "Jesus Christ Superstar" at the Keswick Theatre in Glenside, PA, brought me back to my Pennsylvania roots and to my love of stage photography. Growing up in the living faith of God's word and knowing his grace through Jesus Christ, this was a moving experience for me.  God who has blessed me so greatly throughout my career here allowed me to illustrating Bible stories from my childhood.  See more pics from this series.
