Villagers Theatre presents 'Godspell'

PrintVillagers Theatre's teen ensemble will perform "Godspell."

The show performs at 8 p.m. on Dec. 12 and 13. Tickets are $10 each.

"Godspell" features a parade of beloved songs including “Prepare Ye The Way Of The Lord,” “Learn Your Lessons Well,” “All For The Best,” “All Good Gifts,” “Turn Back, O Man” and “By My Side.” A small group of people help Jesus Christ tell different parables by using a wide variety of games, storytelling techniques, and hefty dose of comic timing. An eclectic blend of songs ranging in style from pop to vaudeville is employed as the story of Jesus’s life dances across the stage. Dissolving hauntingly into the Last Supper and the Crucifixion, Jesus’s messages of kindness, tolerance, and love come vibrantly to life. Boasting a score with chart topping songs, a book by a visionary playwright and a feature film, "Godspell" is a sensation that continues to touch audiences.
