Journey back to the early seventies when hippies and flower children celebrated the concepts of peace, love and freedom, and the musical GODSPELL was running off-Broadway and playing on screens across the USA. This iconic collection of parables, based on the Gospel of Matthew, spawned the hit song, DAY BY DAY, and soon became a favorite production for high schools and community theater groups throughout America. Composed by Stephen Schwartz and based on the book by John-Michael Tebelak, it is packed with memorable and hummable tunes, and a feel-good mood and message that’s great for the whole family.
The evening will feature Michelle Dennis and her local theater cohorts as song leaders, with an audience warm-up before the film that will include a costume contest! So don’t forget to dress in colorful and imaginative hippie-dippy flower-power style!
