Wauseon High School Presents Godspell March 27th- 29th

Godspell is a musical by Stephen Schwartz that opened Off Broadway on May 17, 1971. The show has played to capacity crowds at stages around the world. The structure of the musical is that of a series of parables mostly based on the Gospel of Matthew. (three of the featured parables are recorded only in the Gospel of Luke). The parables are interspersed with a variety of modern music set primarily to lyrics from traditional hymns, with the passion of Christ treated briefly near the end of the performance.

The Wauseon High School performances include Friday and Saturday evening performances and a Sunday matinee. Evening performances begin at 7:00 pm. The matinee will be at 2:00 pm. Tickets are on sale in advance. Tickets may be available at the door if the performances have not sold out in advance. Godspell includes many well-known melodies. The simple stage set amplifies the actions of the players in each of the contemporary sketches.
