SPEARS - the concept is simple. The story of the Gospel. The music of Britney Spears. One dazzling and heart rending musical production. 

SPEARS is a groundbreaking new musical that tells the story of Jesus Christ using only Britney Spears's music, uniquely arranged to tell the familiar story of the Gospel in a contemporary and accessible way. Heralded for its tasteful style and strikingly meaningful tactics by Columbia students and professors, SPEARS is sure to excite. The production was conceived of and will be directed by Pat Blute, with musical arrangements by Max Druz and Benjamin Grossman.

This team includes also our Producer Katie Brinn, Creative Director Katey Howitt, and Choreographer Sara Miller, each boasting a long resume from work on projects at Columbia's graduate and undergraduate schools and on the professional scene in New York City. This creative team is presenting the show under NOMADS, an umbrella organization within Columbia's Performing Arts League that brings student projects to fruition. This project combines our love of musical theater and performance with our ultimate desire of engaging audiences in a new conversion about pop music, religion, and Broadway.

We are extremely excited to present SPEARS April 27-28 in the Glicker-Milstein Theater as a preview performance. Without giving anything away, there are some very important audience members to match the very talented performers on stage. Our cast is made up of a wide variety of professional college-aged actors and actresses who will truly invigorate you.

To live up to the profound text of the Gospel and the magic that is Britney Spears, we need YOUR HELP. Though we hate to have to ask for money from our dear friends, fans, and supporters, we promise your generous donation will bring this show to life.
