A new take on this iconic show brings a fresh, universal approach to this classic script maintaining an uplifting message and energetic presentation that begs to be rediscovered and renewed for today’s world. Certainly, Godspell is rooted in the Christian Bible’s Book of Matthew but it addresses issues, themes and teachings that can resonate with nearly everyone, regardless of faith. The authors state this show is about community and joy as much as anything and we are reminded of the common ground we share as human beings.

WHERE: Presbyterian Church of Broomfield, Ministry Center, 350 Main St, Broomfield, CO 80020 (building to the north of the church)
First auditions June 10 and 13:
Character - cold readings from the script,
Vocal - a solo vocal audition from selections provided when an audition has been requested,
Movement - and a short pantomime (3 minutes or less) prepared in advance by auditionees. The pantomime can be something as simple as preparing a meal, working in the garden or grocery shopping. The goal of this exercise is to give directors a sense of your comfort and ability with movement, physicality and expression.
Call back auditions June 20:
Character – cold readings individually or in pairs primarily for the roles of Jesus and John the Baptist/Judas,
Vocal – additional solo selections also provided beforehand,
Movement - Come prepared to learn choreography and audition in small groups. Dress to dance and bring jazz shoes or shoes that will stay on your feet when you move.
ROLES:
The cast for Godspell is a flexible size and is primarily an ensemble performance. Musical solos, monologues and sketches will be performed by actors drawn from the ensemble as the rehearsal process unfolds. Ensemble performers can be any gender.
John the Baptist/Judas, played by the same actor, will be identified in the audition process and will also be part of the ensemble at times. Jesus, an individual actor, is not an ensemble player and remains consistently in his role throughout the show. Please indicate in your email if you would like to be considered for either of these roles. Both roles are male presenting.
REHEARSALS:
Evening rehearsals begin Mondays through Thursday nights, June 29 through September performance dates at a Broomfield location to be announced.
