Godspell 2012: Book by John Michael Tebelak, Music and Lyrics by Stephan Schwartz, Conceived and Originally directed by John Michael Tebelak Based on The Gospel According to St. Matthew

A masterful retelling of the original sensation, injected with contemporary references and dazzling new arrangements.

Godspell was the first major musical theatre offering from three-time Grammy and Academy Award winner, Stephen Schwartz (Wicked, Pippin, Children of Eden); and it took the world by storm. Led by the international hit, "Day by Day," Godspell features a parade of beloved songs, including "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."
A small group of people help Jesus Christ tell different parables by using a wide variety of games, storytelling techniques and a hefty dose of comic timing. 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. 
Boasting a score with chart-topping songs, a book by a visionary playwright (John-Michael Tebelak) and a feature film, Godspell is a sensation that continues to touch audiences.

Founded in 1951 and now in its 74th Season, Greensburg Civic Theatre is one of only a few long-established, volunteer-based, community theatre organizations in Westmoreland County.  Our non-profit organization was founded by a small group of people who wanted to provide a forum for local actors and theatre craftsmen, including costumes, set builders, and lighting and sound technicians.
