On Stage This Week: "Godspell"

   The musical Godspell will be staged this week in Russell, Kentucky.

   The show tells the story of Jesus - it's based on the gospel of Matthew and Luke - and was written by Stephen Schwartz. It opened off Broadway in 1971, and has enjoyed a long life as a community theatre favorite. It was also revived briefly on Broadway in 2011.

   Now it's being presented by the Bridges Community Theatre on March 28 and 29 at 7:30 p.m. at the Bridges Christian Church at 1402 Kenwood Drive in Russell.

   Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for students (through college).  

   It's a fun, moving show, loaded with energy and great songs. Recommended!
