Director Timothy Reid makes his return to Rhode Island theater with this production. “Thank you, West Bay Community Theater, for inviting me back to direct after a ten-year hiatus,” says Reid. “It combines two of my passions of theater and the Bible! ‘God save the people!’”

Music Director Brittany Lyn Dyer says, “It will be privilege to bring GODSPELL to life with West Bay Community Theater. This show reminds us to be grateful for ‘all good gifts’—music, love, and the people who share them.”

This full production of GODSPELL also serves as a fundraising event for WBCT and is presented as part of the St. Paul’s Holy Week celebrations.

Synopsis:

GODSPELL was the first major musical theatre offering from three-time Grammy and Academy Award winner, Stephen Schwartz (Wicked, Pippin, Children of Eden), and it took the world by storm. Led by the international hit, "Day by Day," GODSPELL features a parade of beloved songs, including "Prepare Ye the Way of the Lord," "Learn Your Lessons Well," "All for the Best," "All Good Gifts," "Turn Back, O Man" and "By My Side."
 
A small group of people help Jesus Christ tell different parables by using a wide variety of games, storytelling techniques, and hefty doses of comic timing. An eclectic blend of songs, ranging in style from pop to vaudeville, is employed as the story of Jesus' life dances across the stage. Dissolving hauntingly into the Last Supper and the Crucifixion, Jesus' messages of kindness, tolerance, and love come vibrantly to life.

Boasting a score with chart topping songs, a book by a visionary playwright (John-Michael Tebelak) and a feature film, GODSPELL is a sensation that continues to touch audiences.

John The Baptist / Judas:
He possesses the attributes of two Biblical figures: he is both Jesus' lieutenant and most ardent disciple, as well as the doubter who begins to question and rebel. Like Jesus, he is also charismatic, but in an overt revolutionary way. Handsome and masculine with a subtle undertone of sexuality.
