Stephan Clark Fay  (Jesus)

Stephan attends Good Heritage Academy.  He has been part of Royal Court for about three years, including a role as a Pharisee in the Royal Court 2003 Godspell production.  This time he takes the role of Jesus, which he feels honored and calls it “crazy, huh?”  Stephan’s hobbies include creating wrestling belts, writing poetry, and songs.  He said, “God has blessed this world with two great people.  Without them we could not do what the cast does.  Best act!!  Thank you, DeWayne and Patty, our producers/directors.”
