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.

tent seating: more than a show, it's a celebration!

The diagram is scaled for our tent that is 40' by 60' and allows for a standard 2' x 3' space for each person in a seat. Once stands for lighting are in place, there will be about 175 seats: 50- 60 in each section. Since the seats are not fixed, patrons may move the seats a bit to improve sight lines, turning them towards the center of the stage as needed. The seating designed for intimacy and flexibility and there is plenty of space for those with disabilities. We trust that people in the tent or on the lawn will treat each other with the neighborly love that is an integral part of this special production of Godspell. To quote from Jesus' last song, "We shall build a beautiful city, yes we can, yes we can!"

Our tent goes go up May 18, so we cannot show you exactly what it will look like. Here is what we know:

There will be approximately 170 seats under the tent in 3 sections (see tent map below)
60 PREMIUM seats (blue dots) surround the stage on three sides. If you want to be within 20' of the stage and be a part of the action, select a PREMIUM seat,
60 STANDARD seats (orange dots) face the front of the stage and are 20' to 35' from the stage
50 VALUE seats are 30' to 45' from the stage.
LAWN seating. The sides of the tent will be rolled up. Bring your own chairs or blankets .
Your ticket admits you to the section where you can select any available seats; ushers will be there to help. You can move and turn your seats to get the best view of the stage.
The show goes on rain or shine. If there is rain and space is available, LAWN patrons may be admitted to VALUE seats at the discretion of the ushers.
