Dantes (Tes) Son (Jesus, he/him) is a VCU alum who feels beyond blessed to be making his debut with B***y Bards! Some of his previous works include Warren in Ordinary Days with River City Community Players, a phantom in Rocky Horror with Richmond Triangle Players, Donkey at Box 5 Theatre, and a soloist in the Bravo for Broadway Cabaret with the Henrico Theatre Company. Dantes would like to thank his friends and family for their bountiful love and support and also the overly-talented cast and crew of Jesus Christ Superstar for creating such a powerful and heartwarming story! His Instagram is: _dantesson. Your favorite Galilean hopes you enjoy watching the show and all its glory!

Dew Redling (Judas, they/them) made their B***y Bards debut as Ash's Hand in Evil Dead The Musical, and is excited to be stepping out from behind the sound desk to be on stage again. Favorite recent credits include Jesus in Cotton Patch Gospel (Swift Creek Mill, 2025) and onstage band for DeeD Miller in High-Hat Hattie (CACGA, 2026-27). Superstar has been their favorite musical since getting grounded for bringing the soundtrack to elementary school, and playing Judas has been a dream come true. Immeasurable thanks to Becky Redling, the supermom who makes it all possible, as well as sister Suzi Redling and partner Mary Parker for their steadfast support and love.
