Godspell is a musical deeply rooted in the value of community. Workshopped by students in 1970, Godspell works to bridge the generational gap through familiar language, memorable parables, and gorgeous gospel-like music. The creators speak in a language that they hope everyone will understand, focusing on the concept of incremental communal transformation -of coming together from diverse backgrounds - and uniting under common values. The unique ensemble cast represents this transformation, portraying each individual as one of a much larger group, even if they do not necessarily know it yet. Beyond the stories of Matthew’s Gospel, Godspell shares what life is about: love, altruism, and serving a greater good than oneself.

When Godspell first premiered, it invited audiences into a simple but radical idea: that community is built through compassion, empathy, forgiveness, and shared humanity. More than fifty years later, that invitation feels as urgent as ever.

We live in a time when division often dominates our headlines and too often leaves us feeling disconnected from one another. Our production of Godspell asks a simple question: What might happen if we chose connection over division?

Rather than presenting these parables as stories from a distant past, we approached them as opportunities to explore the challenges facing our communities today. Throughout the rehearsal process, the company examined contemporary issues that can separate us while also bringing their own voices, experiences, and passions into the storytelling. Together, they infused the production with pop culture references, humor, music, and ideas that resonate with their generation, creating bridges between timeless lessons and contemporary life.

What makes Godspell unique is that it only succeeds through genuine ensemble. Rehearsals became a laboratory for trust, vulnerability, collaboration, and play. The cast was challenged not only to portray a community onstage, but to build one offstage. Through devising, storytelling, shared experiences, and collective problem-solving, they discovered how their individual voices could strengthen a larger story.

For me, that has been the greatest gift of this process. Watching these artists choose generosity over ego, collaboration over competition, and connection over isolation has reaffirmed the values at the heart of both Godspell and theatre itself. Theatre is an act of gathering, reminding us that our stories matter most when they are shared.

As you watch tonight, I invite you to look beyond the parables and consider the people sitting beside you. Godspell reminds us that community is not something we inherit. It is something we create, together.

— Michael D. Jablonski, Director
