Originally conceived by Tebelak as his Masters Thesis at Carnegie Mellon University, <b><i>Godspell</i></b> is one of Off-Broadway and Broadways biggest success stories of all time. The show, based on The Gospel According to St. Matthew, derives its title from the archaic spelling of the word gospel. Consisting of a series of skits based on the parables of Jesus and interspersed with a variety of modern music set primarily to lyrics from traditional hymns, <b><i>Godspell’s</i></b> timeless message remains about finding your quiet, unshakable faith amid a very loud, cold, and very often-shallow modern world. Cast members have included Victor Garber (<i>Alias</i>), Gilda Radner (<i>SNL</i>), Martin Short (<i>The Goodbye Girl</i>) and Eugene Levy (<i>Second City</i>).</font></p><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><font face="Arial" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Arial"> </font></p><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><font face="Arial" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Arial">Baldwin-Wallace College senior theatre student, Zachary De Nardi portrays Jesus in the MSS production and is joined onstage by a crew of Mercury regulars including Kelvette Beacham, Molly Richards, Brian Marshall, Shane O’Neill, Jennifer Myor, Sara Masterson and Annie Hickey. Rounding out the cast are newcomers Brett Parr, Stewart Tabler, Kate Michalski, Andrew Miller and Bryant Campbell. Directed and Choreographed by Mercury’s Artistic Director Pierre-Jacques Brault with the Musical Direction of Eddie Carney this <b><i>Godspell</i></b> ties in the relevance of the 2000 year-old gospel message in our technologically-based and fast-paced world of today. Featuring such internationally recognized songs as “Day By Day”, “All Good Gifts”, and “Beautiful City”, <b><i>Godspell</i></b> continues Mercury’s tradition of entertaining, enlightening, and celebrating the best of the human spirit through musical theatre. <b><i>Godspell</i></b> fills our stage with vibrant exuberance, artistic imagination and contemporary relevance, and will have you celebrating right along with the cast on our stage!</font></div><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><font face="Arial" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Arial"> </font></p><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><font face="Arial" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Arial">Tickets for<b> <i>Godspell</i></b> are available by calling the Mercury Summer Stock box office at <b>(216) 771-5862</b>.
