A world where chaos brings strangers into a community through songs, parables, and the life of Jesus.
This project has been a significant part of my time at Mary Washington. I’ve poured a lot of hard work into exploring why Godspell continues to touch audiences, performers, and communities. Welcome to my journaling process where I document how I connected with the show, what I discovered through my classes and rehearsals, and the ways this musical speaks to us today.
Think of this space as a backstage pass into my creative journey as an actor. You’ll see the research and personal reflections that shaped my understanding of the piece. My hope is that as you approach my project with the same sense of joy that Godspell brings to our stage.
Here are my top five favorite songs from the show:
“The Finale”
“On the Willows”
“Turn Back O Man” derived from the Episcopal hymnal
“We Beseech Thee” derived from Episcopal hymnal
“Light of the World” derived from the gospel (Matthew 5)
