A small group of people help Jesus Christ tell different parables by using a wide variety of games, storytelling techniques and hefty doses of comic timing. An eclectic blend of songs, ranging in style from pop to vaudeville, is employed as the story of Jesus' life dances across the stage. Dissolving hauntingly into the Last Supper and the Crucifixion, Jesus' messages of kindness, tolerance and love come vibrantly to life.

NMSU Theatre is proud of its 6:1 student to faculty/staff ratio, which allows our students to receive the personal attention given by such illustrious schools as Julliard and much more than most programs offer. In addition to scheduled classes, Independent Studies and Special Topic courses allow students to be individually mentored by department members, in order to further prepare them for their future careers.

In addition to Department Head Wil Kilroy, faculty members include our Assistant Professors Larissa Lury, Lisa Hermanson, Nichole Hamilton, and continuing with the department as a visiting professor for the 2022-2023 academic year is Chloe Cappuccilli who will be serving as our props and Costume Designer.

The professional staff includes Tamara Carruthers (Costume Shop Manager), Jim Jaworski (Scene Shop Foreman), Jim Wilkinson (ASNMSU Center for the Arts Manager/Sound Designer/Theatre Technician), Mike Wise (Production Stage Manager), and Melis White (Administrative & Fiscal Assistant)
