• "I never enjoyed myself so much at a show before!"
• "I recommend this theater very highly and encourage everyone to go see this!"

"Director, Melody Dougherty, assisted by an enthusiastic and energetic production staff, has brought together an eclectic and talented group of 'apostles' (led by Robert Lewis as Jesus and Sean McDermott as Judas) and added a big dash of 21st Century culture and a stage full of creativity and energy," a press release on the production said. "Add in a rock band led by music director, Rich Lewis, and the stage is set for an evening of music, fun and a timeless message of love and peace that you will be certain to take home with you."

'Godspell' hit Broadway in the early 1970s and has been a cultural staple ever since.
