GODSPELL
The exuberant musical
based on the Gospel
according to the Apostle Matthew
GODSPELL’s creative energy radiates in a stream of well-loved songs, ignited by the international signature hit, “Day By Day.” Through the cast’s rich performances of “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,” the parables of Jesus Christ come humanly and playfully to life. Drawing from various theatrical traditions, GODSPELL is a unique tribute celebrating the life of Jesus, focusing on the essence of kindness, tolerance, grace, hope, and love.

Barefoot in the Park
Neil Simon's bouncy comedy about romance, marriage, and family
Barefoot In The Park follows the lives of newlyweds Paul and Corie Bratter as they adjust to married life in a tiny NYC apartment. Paul, a lawyer who's wound a little too tight, and Corie, a vivacious free spirit determined to hold onto romantic bliss long after the honeymoon, navigate together the five-flight climb to their apartment, the hole in their skylight, the difficulties with neighbors and parents, and most of all, the challenges of relationship when life gets a little more complicated.
March 22, 23, 24 and 29, 30, 31
Jungalbook
The original stories of Rudyard Kipling spring to life onstage!
The Disney feature-length, animated film famously introduced to children all over the world Rudyard Kipling's knife-edged adventures of Mowgli in the deep wilds of India. The stage adaptation of Kipling's original stories (with the original collection title) is an even more faithful dramatic rendering of the man-cub's hazardous life lessons, as he learns the law of the jungle from his beastly family of allies and enemies. You won't want to miss this creative, heart-pounding re-telling of Kipling's literary classic!
Special 2011-2012 School Matinee
Information for TEACHERS
Special performances are scheduled for your students at some of this year's performances on selected weekday mornings at 10:00 A.M. Theorning matinee performances of Godspell are well-suited for middle school and high school groups—especially students from your school's music, theatre and English classes—and our spring production of Jungalbook will be perfect for elementary grade levels. Performances also serve to reinforce the Tennessee state standards for curriculum. We encourage you to consider one of these opportunities this year to allow your students to experience high-caliber, live theatre at low cost.
If you live in or near the Middle Tennessee area and would like more information about how to make reservations for your school group, call 615-248-7726 or 615-248-1370 as soon as possible. All matinee seats are offered at the reduced admission price of $5.00 per student. Earliest reservations help ensure the best seating and seat availability.
