'Godspell' is Coming to Court St. UMC
Date: April 3, 2018
(Rockford, IL) With much fanfare, Court Street UMC welcomes the musical 'Godspell' to its sanctuary on April 20th and 21st at 7:30 p.m. and April 22nd at 2:00 p.m.
The musical is a series of parables 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. It started as a college project performed by students at Carnegie Mellon University and moved to La MaMa Experimental Theatre Club in Greenwich Village. It was then re-scored for an off-Broadway production which became a long-running success. (from Wikipedia)
