GODSPELL

July 23-24, 2010  8 pm
2000 W. Wadley
Midland, Texas


This powerful rock opera tells the story of Jesus Christ through a contemporary interpretation of parables taken from the Gospel of St. Matthew. When a group of ten young people struggles to find common ground, events such as the Baptism, the Last Supper and the Passion of the Christ encourage them to shed differences and joyfully follow their leader to create a loving and supportive community. Modern music set to traditional hymn lyrics completes this fascinating portrayal of the historical Jesus Christ. Presented by the Pickwick Players. 
Recommended for the whole family.
