Godspell is performed with an ensemble cast. Director Casey Garritano has set the musical in a Homeless Camp in Orange County, CA. We meet iconic philosophers who debate over the meaning of life. They are confronted by the homeless who are hungry and sick seeking answers to their, and societies, pain. The Shofar sounds and John the Baptist sings of the coming of the prophet Jesus Christ. Based on the Gospel according to St. Matthew, the Rock Opera includes improvised, dramatized versions of several well-known parables and also deals with the last days of Jesus.
