NRHS to present Godspell April 27-28

The New Richmond High School music department will present Godspell at 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday at the high school theater.

Playwright Stephen Schwartz’ Godspell, based on the book of Matthew, puts a modern spin on the tale of Jesus's fellowship with his disciples and the events leading up to his crucifixion.

“The entire stage is decorated as a junk yard which is where the show will occur so it should be rather a neat experience,” said NRHS music director Doug Heflin.

The case includes Luke Gilday, Will Heflin, Sydney Clancy, Sarah Molitor, Lindsay Gundler, Rachel Heflin, Erica Jones, Sammi Gregory, Ben Green, Sarah Denneman, Lydia Webb and Michael Steelman.

“It has a small cast and the whole cast is on stage the whole time and it really gives kids a chance to pantomime and get into different characters,” said Heflin. “Everyone plays multiple parts in the show and it’s really a fun show to do.”

Tickets are $7 for adults and $5 for students. Anyone who comes Friday to the show gets half priced tickets for the Saturday show!
