Godspell at Gaslight Baker Theatre

"Prepare ye, the way of the Lord" as Godspell, at The Gaslight Baker Theatre in Lockhart, opens in July. Having postponed their 100th anniversary season in 2020 due to the pandemic, they come back celebrating the return of live theatre with this classic musical by Stephen Schwartz. Directed by Jason Jones who is also the current President of The Gaslight Baker.

Godspell, which celebrated its 50th anniversary this year, tells the Gospel of Matthew using clever and entertaining skits with a memorable rock and roll score. "I love the hope and unity and restorative joy of the story and the songs. We can build a beautiful city! We can love and serve each other! We can make a difference, brick by brick and heart by heart!", says director Jason Jones. "My wish and prayer for this show is that people leave full of hope."

The talented cast comes from all over Central Texas to be part of this historic event.
