GODSPELL--the show you only *think* you know!
A company of singing and dancing hippie-esque clowns presents the story of Jesus in a humorous, rollicking, improvisational, and ultimately life-affirming style that worked in the 70s, right? Beloved by Christian groups and polarizing to almost everyone else, GODSPELL is a play that has always preached to the converted. Taking its inspiration from the Gospel of Matthew, GODSPELL uses the parables and teachings of Jesus to look at modern-day life. Our production, which will include "Day by Day" and other songs by Stephen Schwartz, the composer of WICKED, jettisons the hippies and takes a contemporary look at the issues and questions raised by the teachings of Jesus. Whether you are a believer or not, this show will get you thinking, even as you are clapping and humming along.
Godspell is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI.
