Review: GODSPELL at Charleston Light Opera Guild Theatre
by Sophia Dodson - Aug 12, 2026

Review: GODSPELL at Falcon's Eye Theatre
by Courtney Symes - Apr 21, 2026

The Gospel of Matthew is alive and well on stage at Folsom Lake College, as Falcon’s Eye Theatre presents Godspell. In 1971, composer Stephen Schwartz (Wicked) and writer John-Michael Tebelak introduced their show that reimagines the Gospel through a series of parables, songs, and storytelling. This production places the story in a world framed by looming office buildings—a choice that asks what faith, kindness, and community look like in the contemporary world.

The History of Musicals Starting Off-OFF-Broadway
by Jennifer Ashley Tepper - Jan 25, 2026

The history of shows that have transferred from off-Broadway to Broadway is well documented. Hundreds of Broadway plays and musicals started out off-Broadway before making the leap to a Broadway house. But much more rare is the circumstance of a show starting out off-off-Broadway (that’s right, two ‘off’s!) and traveling all the way to the main stem. One of these shows is playing right now, and is a major theatre success story with off-off-Broadway roots!
