“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.”

Many of Robert Frost's narrative poems are written as dialogues between two characters, these four narratives are carefully adapted from Robert Frost’s original poems, with no additions and very few deletions. Researched, chosen and scripted by playwright Lynne Gannon these four poems (all from the North of Boston collection) tell separate, unrelated stories, but are linked by common themes: rural life, strained human relationships, miscommunication, death and the persistent emotional isolation of individuals.

With an infectiously unforgettable score from four-time Grammy winner, three-time Oscar winner and musical theatre giant, Stephen Schwartz, Pippin is the story of one young man's journey to be extraordinary. Winner of four 2013 Tony Awards including Best Musical Revival, this updated circus-inspired version of Pippin continues to captivate and appeal to the young at heart throughout the world.
Heir to the Frankish throne, the young prince Pippin is in search of the secret to true happiness and fulfillment. He seeks it in the glories of the battlefield, the temptations of the flesh and the intrigues of political power (after disposing of his father, King Charlemagne the Great). In the end, though, Pippin finds that happiness lies not in extraordinary endeavors, but rather in the unextraordinary moments that happen every day.
