Rhinebeck Theatre Society presents Godspell
Book & Conceived by John-Michael Tebelak
Music & Lyrics by Stephen Schwartz
Prepare ye for the timeless tale of friendship, loyalty and love based on the Gospel According to St. Matthew.
We follow Jesus, John the Baptist, and an eccentric troupe of actors as they lead the audience through parables using a wide variety of storytelling, perfectly timed comedy, styled movement, wacky props, silly instruments, and (of course!) singing in a broad spectrum of styles.
Godspell spreads the fundamental message: help each other. A message everyone can relate to and stand to learn from. A reminder to be kind, be compassionate, be HUMAN, our production will be bringing the audiences back to being “home” in the theatre. So, come back home and join our story!
The cast features Jonah Woodcock as Jesus, Daniel Brenner as Judas / John the Baptist, with Kathy Bailey, Andrew Bruck, Natalie Bunta, Kelsey Christiana, Kiara Daniello, Emily Eichler, Kaeli Heffner, Olivia Hoben, Jabez Jackson, Audra James, Arielle Knapp, Simon Meisel, Risa Petrone, Maya Schubert, Rob Trama, and Jasha Woodall.

Annie
Book by Thomas Meehan
Music by Charles Strouse
Lyrics by Martin Charnin
Based on the popular comic strip by Harold Gray, Annie has become a worldwide phenomenon and was the winner of seven Tony Awards, including Best Musical. The beloved book and score by Tony Award winners, Thomas Meehan, Charles Strouse and Martin Charnin, features some of the greatest musical theatre hits ever written, including "Tomorrow."
With equal measures of pluck and positivity, little orphan Annie charms everyone's hearts despite a next-to-nothing start in 1930s New York City. She is determined to find the parents who abandoned her years ago on the doorstep of a New York City Orphanage that is run by the cruel, embittered Miss Hannigan. With the help of the other girls in the Orphanage, Annie escapes to the wondrous world of NYC. In adventure after fun-filled adventure, Annie foils Miss Hannigan's evil machinations... and even befriends President Franklin Delano Roosevelt! She finds a new home and family in billionaire Oliver Warbucks, his personal secretary Grace Farrell, and a lovable mutt named Sandy. (MTI)
