University Theatre presents production of “Godspell”
November 11, 2022
YSU’s University Theatre will continue its 2022-23 season with the production of “Godspell,” a musical based on the Gospel of Matthew from the New Testament of the Bible, November 11 – 20, 2022 in the YSU Ford Theater, located in Bliss Hall on YSU’s campus. The show is structured in parables and is interspersed with music set to the lyrics of traditional hymns.
"Each production of Godspell is idiosyncratic and personal,” lecturer and director Adam Day Howard said. “I feel this mirrors the many ways people feel about its main character, who, despite being a basis for the world’s largest religion, was also a man, a historical figure, a political figure, and a philosophical one as well. In our production one can’t help but notice he was also particularly creative and funny.”
Tickets for the musical are $16 for adults and $9 for non-YSU students, YSU faculty, staff, and alumni, senior citizens, Penguin Club members, and groups of eight (8) or more. Admission is free for YSU students. To purchase tickets to see “Godspell,” call 330-941-3105 or visit ysu.tix.com.
