Jesus Christ Superstar

Bob Wearing is always grateful to be back home at MTH, where he last appeared in Sweeney Todd, Forever Plaid, Big River, Urinetown and others! Regional credits include Clue Onstage, Lucky Stiff, The Importance of Being Earnest, Something’s Afoot (Maples Repertory Theatre), Greater Tuna (Paul Bunyan Playhouse), and The SpongeBob Musical (Coterie). Bob watches way too much football…and basketball….and baseball. He is also running two concurrent DnD campaigns, and is also learning Magic the Gathering. He thinks this makes him really cool. All the love in the world to David, Betsy, James, and Chris! “You’ll never regret doing the right thing.” – Ben Wearing.
