Godspell
Book by John-Michael Tebelak Music and new lyrics by Stephen Schwartz
Directed by Nicki Blowers
February 26 - 28 & March 1, 2009
Godspell, based on the Gospel According to St. Matthew, and featuring a sparkling score by Stephen Schwartz (composer of Wicked and Pippen), Godspell boasts a string of well-loved songs, including the international hit, "Day By Day." As the cast performs, the parables of Jesus Christ comes humanly and heartingly to life. Drawing from various theatrical traditions, such as clowning, pantomime, charades, acrobatics and vaudeville, Godspell is a groundbreaking and unique reflection on the life of Jesus, with a message of kindness, tolerance and love. It is one of the biggest off-Broadway and Broadway successes of all time.
The Rimers of Eldritch
By Lanford Wilson
Directed by Clay Kirkland
April 23 - 26, 2009
An early work by Pulitzer Prize-winner Lanford Wilson, The Rimers of Eldritch appears to be a simple mystery. Using a mosaic of scenes from the past and present, Wilson does much more, however, than simply reveal a murderer. He closely examines the fabric of life in the tiny, Midwestern village of Eldritch, gradually exposing the lies and secrets of its residents. Winner of the Vernon Rice Award, this off-Broadway success is an eloquent, insightful examination of small town Americana.
