Based on the Gospel According to St. Matthew, and told through parables and song, a small group of people help Jesus bring together a community by using a wide variety of games, improvisation, and a hefty dose of comic timing.  An eclectic blend of songs ranging in style from pop to vaudeville is employed as the story unfolds, telling a timeless tale that spans countless generations.

Pioneer Productions is committed to an open-minded casting process, and we believe that all roles can be reimagined (that’s the beauty of theatre!).   We have purposefully left out any specific gender requirements for our production of Godspell…we are simply looking for ten amazingly talented humans to join our family and tell this story.   ALL roles are open!!  Godspell is a high-energy, fast-paced show, and all actors are featured throughout.

​

What to prepare:  Please come prepared with 32 bars of a song in the style of the show that best shows off your storytelling and your personality!  If you are not sure what to sing, send us an email (pioneerproductions@gmail.com), and we can provide selections from the show.  Oh, and if you have a resume and headshot, please bring that, too!  Callbacks will include movement and dance.
