GODSPELL — July 12 – July 21
Book by John Michael Tebelak. Music and New Lyrics by Stephen Schwartz.

– “From the three-time Grammy, Tony, and Academy Award winning writer Stephen Schwartz (Wicked, Pippin)!”
A small group of people help Jesus Christ tell different parables (based on The Gospel according to St. Matthew) by using a wide variety of games, storytelling techniques and a hefty dose of comic timing. An eclectic blend of songs, ranging in style from pop to vaudeville, is employed as the story of Jesus’ life dances across the stage. Dissolving hauntingly into the Last Supper and the Crucifixion, Jesus’ messages of kindness, tolerance and love come vibrantly to life. A masterful retelling of the original sensation injected with contemporary references and dazzling new arrangements! Rated PG.
