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. </p><div class="" style="box-sizing: border-box; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; margin: 0px 0px 2rem; font-size: 16px; color: rgb(93, 1, 14); font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div class="" style="text-align: center;"><strong class="" style="box-sizing: border-box; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;">GODSPELL - 2012 REVISED VERSION is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI)</strong></div><strong class="" style="box-sizing: border-box; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;"><div class="" style="text-align: center;"><strong class="" style="box-sizing: border-box; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;">All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI</strong></div><div class="" style="text-align: center; box-sizing: border-box; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; color: rgb(177, 124, 54); transition: color 0.2s cubic-bezier(0.6, 0, 0.1, 1); -webkit-transition: color 0.2s cubic-bezier(0.6, 0, 0.1, 1);"><a rel="nofollow" class="SUGlink" href="http://www.mtishows.com/" style="box-sizing: border-box; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; color: rgb(177, 124, 54); transition: color 0.2s cubic-bezier(0.6, 0, 0.1, 1); -webkit-transition: color 0.2s cubic-bezier(0.6, 0, 0.1, 1);"><strong class="" style="color: rgb(93, 1, 14); box-sizing: border-box; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;"></strong></a><strong class="" style="color: rgb(93, 1, 14); box-sizing: border-box; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;"><a rel="nofollow" class="SUGlink" href="http://www.mtishows.com/" style="box-sizing: border-box; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; color: rgb(177, 124, 54); transition: color 0.2s cubic-bezier(0.6, 0, 0.1, 1); -webkit-transition: color 0.2s cubic-bezier(0.6, 0, 0.1, 1);">www.MTIShows.com</a></strong></div></strong><div class=""><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div class="" style="box-sizing: border-box; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; margin: 0px 0px 2rem; font-size: 16px; color: rgb(93, 1, 14); font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div class="" style="text-align: center;">Directed by: Delorna Toy</div><div class="" style="text-align: center;">Musically Directed by: Jared Sparks</div><div class="" style="text-align: center;">Choreographed by: Sarah Jane Toy</div><div class=""><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><p class="" style="text-align: center; box-sizing: border-box; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; margin: 0px 0px 2rem; font-size: 16px; color: rgb(93, 1, 14); font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">Auditions will be held on Monday, December 10th and Tuesday, December 11th </p><p class="" style="text-align: center; box-sizing: border-box; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; margin: 0px 0px 2rem; font-size: 16px; color: rgb(93, 1, 14); font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">All auditioners are asked to prepare 32 bars of music in the style of the show.
