Upcoming Auditions

Synopsis: A small group of individuals  carrying their own doubts and fears must come together in an unexpected space. Through playful, shared experiences they begin to form a community built on trust, compassion, and the courage to be vulnerable. At the center of it all is Jesus Christ, not as a distant figure, but as a guide who inspires connection and invites each person to see the world—and each other—differently. Godspell is about the joy and struggle of building something meaningful together: a community that learns, laughs, questions, and ultimately transforms in the presence of something greater than themselves.  

The first major musical theatre offering from three-time Grammy and Academy Award winner, Stephen Schwartz (Wicked, Pippin, Children of Eden), Godspell took the world by storm led by the international hit, "Day by Day."

Characters*:

• Jesus: Charismatic and high energy, yet gentle and loving. They are the deceptively calm leader of the troupe who is eventually betrayed by Judas and persecuted.

• John the Baptist / Judas: Possesses the attributes of two Biblical figures: they are both Jesus' lieutenant and most ardent disciple, and also the doubter who begins to question and rebel. Like Jesus, is also charismatic, but in an overt revolutionary way.

• Disciple Je - Very high energy. Impish and playful.

• Disciple L - Not the brightest in the bunch, they are a little slow on the uptake. But there is great sweetness and innocence.

• Disciple H: The comedian, the class clown. The person who can do a hundred voices and imitations.

• Disciple R: A bit of a tomboy, but basically open and sweet.

• Disciple Jo: The confident one, the show-off. Sometimes jumps in before they really understand what is going on.

• Disciple P: The shy one. Sometimes a little slow to get things, but when they do, they commit all the way. Has a parental warmth to them.

• Disciple S: Sassy and sightly cynical, the most urban of the group. The "sexy one" but a large element of put-on (Mae West type).

• Disciple G: Another class clown. Goofy and cut-up.
