Rehearsals in full swing!



Godspell is a unique show. It is loosely based on the gospel according to Matthew, but is set in the present, with all the characters using their own names.
The idea began when John-Michael Tebelak took a break from his studies in Pittsburgh, USA and went to the Easter ceremonies in his local church. Feeling that the church needed to reclaim its joy and hope, he went home and wrote "Godspell". It was then rewritten by Stephen Schwartz and the rest, as they say, is history.
The show has been performed in as diverse places as the Vatican and the White House. At the height of its popularity, there were 15 productions running at the same time in different places around the world.
Godspell is a celebration of life. In this context, our production is a celebration of the joy and life (and the many talents) that exist within our community.
The production coincides with the tenth year of our church building and what better way to celebrate this anniversary!
Bible study was never like this!!!!
