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.
