This is going to be a thrilling new production of GODSPELL so come one come all… 

GODSPELL was the first major musical theater offering from 3-time Grammy and Academy Award winning composer Stephen Schwartz (Wicked, Pippin, Children of Eden); and it took the world by storm.  Led by the international hit, “Day By Day,” GODSPELl features a parade of beloved songs including “Prepare Ye The Way of the Lord,” “Learn Your Lessons Well,” “All Good Gifts,” “Turn Back O Man,” and “By My Side.”

A small group of players help Jesus tell different parables by using a wide variety of games, storytelling techniques, and a hefty dose of comic timing.  Boasting a score with chart topping songs, a book by a visionary playwright (John-Michael Tebelak), and a feature film, GODSPELL is a sensation that continues to thrill audiences.
