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.
