“Not kings and lords but nations. Not thrones and crowns but men.”
After another critically acclaimed season in 2017 Queens Shakespeare, in partnership with What Dreams May Co., returns to the stage for presentations of Godspell (Book: John Michael Tebelak, Music and new lyrics by Stephen Schwartz, and Henry IV by William Shakespeare (parts I and II combined). Join us for a season of epic stories. First up…Godspell.
Director Christina Sheehan’s modern revolutionary inspired design explores the idea of a diverse group with many modern voices of resistance, coming together with one visionary leader, to form one community, and ultimately learn how to make their own “light” shine to make a brighter world. This popular musical retelling of the Gospel of Matthew, brings its messages of kindness, tolerance, and love vibrantly to life.
