Godspell. Conceived and Originally Directed by John-Michael Tebelak. Music and New Lyrics by Stephen Schwartz. Directed by Bill Gabelhausen.

Godspell, a musical based on the Gospel of Matthew, features a small group of people helping Jesus Christ tell different parables by using a wide variety of games, storytelling techniques and hefty doses of comic timing. An eclectic blend of songs, ranging in style from pop to vaudeville, is employed as the story of Jesus' life dances across the stage. Dissolving hauntingly into the Last Supper and the Crucifixion, Jesus' messages of kindness, tolerance, and love come vibrantly to life. Godspell was the first major musical theatre offering from three-time Grammy and Academy Award winner, Stephen Schwartz, and it took the world by storm. Led by the international hit, “Day by Day,” Godspell features a parade of beloved songs.

Thursday – Saturday, November 6-8, 2025, at 7:30 PM and Sunday, November 9, 2025, at 2:00 PM in the Swanson Mainstage Theater.
