Godspell to be performed at the Masonic Temple

Apr. 12—DANVILLE — DLO Musical Theatre presents Godspell next week.

Performances are at 7:30 p.m. April 18, 19 and 20 and 2:30 p.m. April 21 at the Danville Masonic Temple, 109 W. North St., Danville.

The musical is about a small group of people helping Jesus Christ tell different parables by using a wide variety of games, storytelling techniques and hefty doses of comic timing. An eclectic blend of songs, ranging in style from pop to vaudeville, is employed as the story of Jesus' life dances across the stage. Dissolving hauntingly into the Last Supper and the Crucifixion, Jesus' messages of kindness, tolerance and love come vibrantly to life.

Godspell was the first major musical theatre offering from three-time Grammy and Academy Award winner, Stephen Schwartz (Wicked, Pippin, Children of Eden), and it took the world by storm.

Led by the international hit, "Day by Day," Godspell features a parade of beloved songs, including "Prepare Ye the Way of the Lord," "Learn Your Lessons Well," "All for the Best," "All Good Gifts," "Turn Back, O Man" and "By My Side."

Ticket information: Main Floor (reserved seating): $23 in advance or $25 at the door; Gallery (general admission): $17 in advance or $20 at the door; and $7 student — online or at door.
