This masterful retelling of the original sensation Godspell from three-time Grammy and Academy Award winner Stephen Schwartz, the 2012 revival is injected with contemporary references and dazzling new arrangements. A small group of people helps Jesus Christ tell different parables by using a wide variety of storytelling techniques and a hefty dose of comic timing. The show features an eclectic blend of songs, ranging in style from pop to vaudeville, including “Day by Dy," “Prepare Ye the Way of the Lord,” “Learn Your Lessons Well,” “All for the Best,” “All Good Gifts,” “Turn Back, O Man,” and “By My Side.”
Pioneer Productions co-founder Shanna Levine-Phelps is directing this production. Leading the cast on this journey and making her Pioneer Productions debut is Luana Cook Scott, whose “day” job happens to be as the Senior Pastor of Morristown United Methodist Church, where the show will be performed.
Rounding out the cast is an array of talented performers and storytellers, including Tiffany Bizub, Sean Coyle, Patrick Comey, Lauren Mangine, Sarah Emaline Melton, Robert Stevens, Margaret Summer, and Jade Virginia. Hannah Comia provides musical direction, and Jon Mantes choreographs. Pioneer co-founder and Artistic Director Dan Vissers provides Tech Direction (Lights/sound) and set design/construction.
The show runs for six performances: June 14, 15, 21, and 22 at 8 pm and June 16 and 23 at 3 pm. Tickets are now available at https://pioneer-productions-company.ticketleap.com/godspell/
Funding for this show has been made possible in part by funds from Morris Arts through the New Jersey State Council on the Arts/Department of State, a partner agency of the National Endowment for the Arts. Pioneer Productions was incorporated in 2003 as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit theatre company by founding members Dan Vissers, Shanna Levine-Phelps, and Jon Mantes.
