WaterTower Theatre Producing Artistic Director, Shane Peterman, today announced casting and creative details for the limited-run engagement of Godspell.

18 maggio, Roma. Il teatro Cometa Off va pian piano riempendosi con l'avvicinarsi delle 18:00. La sala e piccola, ma i posti sono quasi tutti occupati. Ci sono parenti e amici degli attori, ma anche curiosi e appassionati del genere che hanno scelto di passare un sabato pomeriggio diverso. Sul palco infatti stanno per esibirsi gli allievi dell'AMTA, l'American Musical Theatre Academy, portando in scena una versione piu moderna di GODSPELL, musical del 1971 composto da Stephen Schwartz e dal libretto di John-Michael Tebelak.

Opening on Wednesday, May 22 and running through June 16, Ivoryton Playhouse presents the beautiful and uplifting musical, GODSPELL.  GODSPELL began as John Michael Tebelak's master thesis at Carnegie Mellon University with lyrics taken directly from the Episcopal Hymnal. Stephen Schwartz, also from Carnegie Mellon, was hired to write a new score, adding original songs to the modernized hymns.

The Theater Company is proud to present Godspell directed by Chris Harada and Elly nominated Musical Director David Lynn. Join us for a personal intimate experience of immersive theater opening July 5th and running through July 28th at the Esterly Hall 336 Crown Point Circle, Grass Valley Ca.

What do clownish costumes and biblical parables have in common? Subversive Broadway staple, GODSPELL of course! Austin's Trinity Street Players take on the classic Stephen Schwartz and John-Michael Tebelak rock musical with an effervescent production fitting for Easter weekend.

In 1970, John-Michael Tebelak's master's thesis, Godspell, was first performed at Carnegie Mellon. Then in 1971, after a run at La MaMa Experimental Theatre Club, Stephen Schwartz was hired to re-score the show before being produced off-Broadway. Godspell, which is primarily based on parables from the Gospel of Matthew (with a few from the Gospel of Luke and one from John), has had several revivals and numerous tours. Audiences can enjoy a unique interpretation of Godspell at Prima opening April 5th. To find out more about this upcoming production, I spoke with director J. Scott Lapp and Tayler Harris, the actor portraying Jesus.

This production, the first to be selected by Peterman, will replace the previously scheduled Origin Story.
