This production promises to be a not-to-miss rendering of the Broadway smash hit that originally debuted in 1971. Based on the Gospel of Saint Matthew, Godspell 2012 is the timeless tale of friendship, loyalty, and love in a masterful retelling of the original sensation. It uses song, dance, and a variety of storytelling techniques to relay the parables that Jesus taught with his disciples. Filled with high spirited musical styles ranging from pop to vaudeville, this theatrical celebration is a reminder that kindness, tolerance, and love should live on vibrantly. The Beverly Theatre Guild is Chicago’s longest running community theatre company. BTG shows are performed at the Baer Theater, a 425-seat venue with state-of-the-art sound and lighting, located at 2153 West 111th Street on the campus of the Morgan Park Academy.
