For the young at heart of all ages, a new adaptation featuring Murmel, Murmel, Murmel, Class Clown, More Pies, No Clean Clothes and Good Families Don't by Robert Munsch, Canada's most popular writer for kids. Over the years Festival Antigonish has enjoyed huge success with these high-energy compilations and this show by the creators of last season's held over hit, Munschapalooza, continues the tradition of kid-friendly fun.

Based on the Gospel according to St Matthew, Godspell, tells the story of the last seven days of Christ's life. The show opened off-Broadway in 1971 and has enjoyed numerous successful revivals since.

Godspell has remained such an important part of the modern musical theater because of its versatility. The original production made the company a troupe of clowns and flower children who follow Jesus in an abandoned playground; subsequent versions have been set in museums, classrooms, on top of buildings, an apocalyptic world or in an abandoned theater. Our director, Richie Wilcox, will bring his own creative imagination to bear on this great contemporary classic and with a large ensemble of talented young performers Godspell will certainly be one of the most exciting events in our season.
