LIKE YOU'VE NEVER SEEN IT BEFORE!
Conceived and Originally Directed by
JOHN-MICHAEL TEBELAK
MUSIC AND NEW LYRICS BY STEPHEN SCHWARTZ
Completely reimagined for today
In every generation, a community gathers around a story that refuses to stay quiet. Staging Godspell in 2026 isn’t just an act of theater—it’s an act of hope. It’s a reminder that joy can still erupt in unexpected places, even in a tent set up on a patch of Carolina ground. And to be honest, we’ve always believed the Gospel lands best when there’s laughter and sawdust. Now, more than ever, the world needs its people to seek justice, forgiveness, hope, and love using all available paths.
The directors, cast and crew are local and have many years of experience in theater and music and want to give you an inspiring experience that echoes the hope of the last weeks of spring that will literally surround the tent.
