What’s the buzz?

Westmoreland Performing Arts will stage the classic rock opera “Jesus Christ Superstar” at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday in The Palace Theatre, 21 W. Otterman St., Greensburg.

With music by Andrew Lloyd Webber and lyrics by Tim Rice, the sung-through work is loosely based on Gospel accounts of the Passion of Jesus Christ, focusing on the psychology of Jesus and other characters. It debuted on Broadway in 1971.

A ticket is $22, or $15 for students 18 and younger. To reserve, call 724-836-8000 or visit thepalacetheatre.org.

Murder most foul

The classic whodunit “And Then There Were None” will be staged at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 2:30 p.m. Sunday at Geyer Performing Arts Center, 111 Pittsburgh St., Scottdale.

The 1943 play by mystery writer Agatha Christie finds 10 people gathered in an isolated mansion on a remote island, where a gramophone recording accuses all of them of past unpunished crimes. As the weather turns foul and no escape is possible, they begin dying one by one.

A general admission ticket is $15. To reserve, call 724-887-0887 or visit geyerpac.com.

What’s so funny?

An open-mic comedy night will begin at 7:30 p.m. Saturday at Green Beacon Gallery, 235 W. Pittsburgh St., Greensburg.

Hosted by Jesse Feng, the evening is the first of a planned bimonthly series of comedy sessions.

A sign-up sheet will be posted in front of the stage at 7 p.m. Participants should plan to perform for 10 to 15 minutes.

Cover is $5. The all-ages event is BYOB for those 21 and older.
