Westmont Students to Resurrect 'Godspell'

The Westmont College Choir will perform the 1970s rock musical “Godspell,” Friday, Feb. 2, at 7 p.m. and Saturday, Feb. 3, at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. at Montecito Covenant Church.

The show is co-directed by alumna Sharon Williams and student Jessica Weber. The cast includes 10 students and two recent Westmont alumni.

“They are so enthusiastic about making it a good show,” says Williams. “They have created something amazing and done it so well that audiences will always remember it.”

“Godspell” follows the life and teachings of Jesus set in a contemporary landscape. It was one of the longest-running off-Broadway musicals before making it on Broadway in 1976. A movie version of the play, set in modern New York, was released in 1973.

Tickets are $10 for adults, $7 for students and $5 for children. For more information please contact Darcy Galvan at (805) 565-6040.
