Country Gate Players announces its production of 'Godspell' playing in Belvidere, NJ Dec. 1 through Dec. 9.
DESCRIPTION
Prepare ye for a thought-provoking, nature-inspired production of Godspell, the legendary rock musical. Even if you’ve seen it before, we promise you’ve never seen Godspell quite like this. Come experience something new along with the music and parables you love!
DIRECTOR'S NOTE
Godspell is a story about the creation of a community coming together to learn and grow with one another.
Through theparables of the Gospel of Matthew, they explore how to create a world of acceptance, peace and love.
Part of Godspell’s appeal is that no two productions are alike and the script lends itself to interpretation in many different ways.
In this production, we tell this story through lens of Mother Earth, man’s ultimate blessing as she navigates her relationship with man and beast, both guiding and warning them along the way. As with the seasons of man’s journey, the seasons of nature are present throughout as a reminder of the transience of life.
We hope to show the fragility of our earthly blessings, the need to nurture them and the ultimate outcome of their neglect.
