Book by John-Michael Tebelak
Directed by Mark McQuade
Featuring hit songs such as "Day by Day," "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," Godspell is a sensation that continues to touch audiences of all ages.
Under the guidance of Jesus Christ, a small troupe of people vibrantly bring to life various parables. Through an eclectic blend of songs ranging in style from pop to vaudeville, the life of Jesus and his messages of tolerance, kindness and love are brilliantly portrayed through song, dance, games, stories and comedy.
"...Godspell was the first major musical theatre offering from 3-time Grammy and Academy Award winner Stephen Schwartz (Wicked, Pippin, Children Of Eden). Boasting a score with chart topping songs, a book by a visionary playwright (John-Michael Tebelak), and a feature film, Godspell is a sensation..." - Musical Theater International

A pop culture phenomenon comes to the MSU Amphitheater stage June 17 - 21!
"The Emmy Award-winning 1970's Saturday morning cartoon series that taught history, grammar, math, and more through clever, tuneful songs is lighting up stages everywhere and exciting audiences of all ages.
Schoolhouse Rock Live! follows Tom, a nerve-wracked school teacher who is nervous about his first day of teaching. He tries to relax by watching TV when various characters representing facets of his personality emerge from the set and show him how to win his students over with imagination and music, through such songs as "Just A Bill," "Lolly, Lolly, Lolly," and "Conjunction Junction." - Musical Theater International
A play in three acts by: Micheal Frayne
Directed by: Joe Koppinger
"Called the funniest farce ever written, Noises Off presents a manic menagerie as a cast of itinerant actors rehearsing a flop called "Nothing's On." Doors slamming, on and offstage intrigue, and an errant herring all figure in the plot of this hilarious and classically comic play." - Samuel French
"The most dexterously realized comedy ever about putting on a comedy. A spectacularly funny, peerless backstage farce. This dizzy, well-known romp is festival of delirium." - The New York Times
Performed by special arrangement with Samuel French
Book by: Oscar Hammerstein II
Music by: Richard Rodgers
Lyrics by: Oscar Hammerstein II
