The Very Little Theatre hosted a three-performance run of the popular musical Godspell. The show, a revival of the hit production last fall at the Cottage Theatre, will be presented in Stage Left. Directed by VLT member Peg Major, the cast of the Cottage Theatre production was eager to continue performing this joyful, tuneful show.

Godspell, with music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz, is based on the biblical lessons of the Gospel according to St. Matthew. The show has remained an immensely successful musical over the past 30 years -- a joyous celebration of music, mime, comedy, and slapstick. Godspell is often thought of as a "religious" piece, and rightly so, considering the text is straight out of the Gospel of St. Matthew. However, the lessons that the text brings are so timely and universal that they cross any and all barriers . . . simple truths, such as: "always treat others as you would have them treat you" and "judge not, that you yourselves shall not be judged." Godspell also represents the importance of community, innocence, discovery, simple joys, tolerance, friendship, and unconditional love. No wonder it is loved by so many.
