GCC Performs "Godspell," Starting April 11
Glendale Community College proudly presents the ever-popular musical, "Godspell," April 11, 12, 17, 18 and 19 at 7:30 p.m. and April 13 at 2:00 p.m. It will be held in the GCC Performing Arts Center on the campus at 6000 W. Olive Ave. in Glendale. Tickets are $8 general admission, $5 students, staff and alumni (with ID), and $5 seniors 55+ (with ID). The structure of the musical is that of a series of parables, taken primarily from the Gospel of Matthew. It presents a modern-day version of the gospels, opening with John the Baptist calling a disparate group of young New Yorkers from their workaday lives to follow and learn from Jesus. They form a roving acting troupe that enacts the parables through song and dance, comedy, and mime. Jesus' ministry ends with a last supper, his crucifixion in a junkyard, and, the following morning, his body being carried aloft by his apostles back into the world of the living on the streets of New York. For more information, contact theater professor and pay director David Seitz at david.seitz@gcmail.maricopa.edu or at 623.845.3385.
