“Learn your lessons well.”
GODSPELL, one of the most produced musicals of all time now comes to Artistry! In a modern-day telling of the Gospel of St. Matthew, a dynamic group of performers use parables to bring Jesus’ message of kindness, tolerance, and love to life through song, dance, and improvisation. This 2012 revival version of Grammy and Academy Award-winner Stephen Schwartz’s (Wicked, Pippin) cherished musical reminds you what it felt like the first time you heard “Prepare Ye,” “Turn Back, O Man,” “By My Side,” "Day By Day" and “Beautiful City,” and maybe even find yourself singing along. Vanessa Brooke Agnes, one of the cohort of directors who brought you Songs for a New World last season, returns to direct this touching and haunting story of kindness, love, and community.
Runtime: appx 2h 10min; including a 15 min intermission
