Godspell opened on Broadway in May of 1971 and is a series of parables based on the Gospel of Mathew set to a variety of modem music. Directors, Rev. Lea Mathieu and Rev. Stacy Shel ton, began working with volunteer students in grades 2-8 in February in preparation for this performance. Students met up to twice a week for rehearsal, memorized music and line and hosted two performances. “We have some very talented young people in our community,” said Rev. Mathieu. “It was a treat for us to help guide these students in this recital.” The main character for the event was Jesus Christ, played by Emily Holland. All students had musi cal interludes, solo’s and memorized acts that lead into a standing ovation from the audience. The directors are already preparing for a performance for next year.
