Godspell
April 16 – May 11, 2008
Book by John-Michael Tebelak
Music & lyrics by Stephen Schwartz
Directed by Tom Key
Musical Direction by Ann-Carol Pence
Godspell has thrilled audiences the world over for more than three decades with its fresh and innovative re-framing of the Gospel of St. Matthew. What began in the early 1970s as John-Michael Tebelak’s college senior thesis project at Carnegie-Mellon University eventually became an international stage and film phenomenon, garnering Tony Award nominations, four Drama Desk Awards and two Grammy’s (for the exhilarating music and lyrics by fellow CMU graduate, Stephen Schwartz, most recently of Wicked and Enchanted fame). Theatrical Outfit’s production features a youthful and talented cast of ten Atlanta actors and four musicians in this non-traditional retelling of the parables of Jesus and a redefinition of “community” through a variety of musical styles, including folk-rock, pop, and gospel.
