Dear Editor,
We have admired the agile cast of Jesus Christ Superstar such as Ted Neeley, Carl Anderson, Yvonne Elliman, Barry Dennen and so on. This melodious and inspiring musical play was directed by Norman Jewison. This musical has become a favourite of many Christians and non-Christians alike because of its soothing lyrics and music. A group of amateur young persons brought this play to our shores when they performed at the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception at Brickdam on Saturday last. This was directed by Paul Budhna and Ron Robinson and cast by young persons from different Churches in Georgetown. They performed to a packed Cathedral with their melodious little voices that filled the hearts and minds of the audience. They astounded us with a great show. I was thrilled and at the same time inspired by the message of Jesus Christ. Some of the cast such as Jesus Christ, Mary Magdala, Pontius Pilate, and Judas Iscariot are still hovering in my heart.
I would like to commend the cast that performed and would like them to continue to persevere. I want to stress the point that our youth are truly talented but they need opportunities to exhibit their hidden talents. Thanks to Ron and Paul for extracting the best out from these young persons. This is the milestone they have achieved by making these young persons work hard for the last two months. We will surely see many more young persons with talents sitting quietly because of the lack of opportunities. Let us encourage our youth to come forward to show their talents in our Churches, Mandirs, Mosques, Schools, Outdoors and so on. Our leaders must acknowledge and appreciate the young talents that are at our disposal and tap it right on time.
Yours faithfully,
Rev. Fr. Jerri Melwin Dias SJ
Diocese of Georgetown
