We've noticed over the past year that the time constraint has put more stress on our students, leaving them not feeling prepared. For that reason, we are dedicating MONDAYS for music and TUESDAYS for staging. We recognize this means more time in rehearsals, but it means less stress outside of the rehearsal space.

Our students will focus on character work, acting through singing, and scene basics while putting on the productions of "Godspell" There will be a balanced emphasis on music, acting, and dance. This program nurtures rehearsal and performance principles, requiring commitment, teamwork, and collaboration within diverse creative processes.

Our Auditions will be held prior to the start of our sessions. Please prepare 16 measures of a musical theater song of your choice. When choosing a song, consider the style of the show and the range of the character you are auditioning for.

Due to the intensity of this course, commitment is very important to us. Students will be asked to sign an agreement stating their understanding of our commitment policy. At our audition, please provide a list of any KNOWN conflicts during our rehearsal period. Further, any student who misses three rehearsals (or the equivalent of six tardies) will be at risk of losing one of their performance. Please keep this policy in mind PRIOR to signing up.

About Godspell

Godspell, with music by Stephen Schwartz, is an incredible musical that offers performers a unique opportunity to connect with timeless themes of community, love, and faith. The show’s ensemble-based structure emphasizes collaboration and teamwork, making it an ideal choice for our students to shine while working closely together to tell the story. With its upbeat and catchy songs, like "Day by Day" and "Prepare Ye," Godspell brings energy, joy, and creativity to the stage while encouraging performers to explore their emotional range and develop their skills in a supportive, ensemble-focused environment.

The flexibility of the script allows for lots of imaginative interpretation, giving our actors the chance to express themselves individually while strengthening their bond with the group. Godspell offers a powerful experience that celebrates the importance of community and connection—values that will last long after the final curtain call.

For this musical you will not see the typical list of “characters.” Our actors will be challenged with this new style of show in which they create a character and learn to remain present for the entirety of the show. In fact, almost all our actors will be on stage for the entirety of the show. Each actor will have a chance to sing a solo, learn harmonies, practice improv skills, and focus on creative storytelling throughout the process.
