Drayton Entertainment is bringing Godspell to the St. Jacobs Country Playhouse.
“Godspell is a high-energy musical that features an immensely talented cast who recreate the stories and lessons of the Bible in our present day,” says Alex Mustakas, artistic director of Drayton Entertainment. “With its spectacular music, drama, humour, and timeless message, Godspell appeals to theatregoers of all ages.”
Based on the Gospel according to St. Matthew, this contemporary retelling of the life of Jesus features a Tony-nominated score filled with such iconic numbers as Day By Day and Light of the World.
Officials say Godspell is perfect for those who love to hear the old story told in a fresh new way.
Taking on the role of Jesus is Jake Stern. An alumni of the Performance Education Program at Huron Country Playhouse, where he performed in Disney’s High School Musical (2010), Stern makes his professional Drayton Entertainment debut in Godspell.
It plays eight shows a week Oct. 2 to 20. Regular performance tickets are $40 for adults and youth under 20 pay only $20. Tickets for preview performances and groups of 20 or more are $32. Special matinees for school groups are also available.
