GODSPELL
by Stephen Schwartz & John-Michael Tebelac
Directed by Clair Freeman
Musical Direction by Dorothy Hemerly
Based on the Gospel According to St. Matthew, Godspell
tells the story of the last seven days of Christ's life. However,
in this version the parables have been contemporized, and
Christ's followers are flower children who sing the likes of
Day By Day, All Good Gifts and Turn Back, O Man.

TRUST
by Stephen Dietz
Directed by Tim Brown
