Godspell in the Park

 


Joe and I went to see the musical drama Godspell today. The production was held outdoors in a local park. Two of our neighbors, ages eighteen and twelve, performed and did an outstanding job. And yes, Joe stayed awake.

The weather was perfect at 67 degrees and sunny. It was cool in the shade, so we opted to sit in the sun to stay warm.

As for Godspell, it felt like all of my Sunday school lessons about Jesus all rolled into one. Except with humor tossed in. As each parable unfolded, memories of my  summers at bible school and stints as a Sunday school teacher came rushing back. I suspect this production of Godspell is much different that the original as there were references to technology that did not exist in 1973. Instagram was one of the phrases bandied about. If you get a chance to ever see Godspell, I recommend it – no matter what religion you practice.
