MILL HALL — According to a press release, Millbrook Playhouse will bring a joyful revival of “Godspell” to its Ryan Mainstage starting this week. The production, with a running time of just over two hours, will see evening performances at 7:30 p.m. July 12-13, 17-20; and 2 p.m. showings on July 14, 17 and 21.

“Godspell” is a timeless classic rock musical that first took Broadway by storm in 1971 and again in the 2012 revival, the press release said. It retells the story of Jesus Christ based on the gospel according to St. Matthew. Conceived by John Michael Tebelak, the musical features lyrics by Stephen Schwartz (“Wicked”).

“The show features a vibrant ensemble cast that portrays Jesus and his disciples, using games, storytelling, audience interaction, and hilarious antics to bring Jesus’ parables to life,” said the press release. “Filled with iconic songs like ‘Day by Day’ and ‘Oh, Bless the Lord,’ ‘Godspell’ explores themes of love, forgiveness, and celebrating the human experience. It is a must-see for audiences of all faiths.”

Directed by Amanda Coffin, this production promises a captivating theatrical experience. Coffin, a Millbrook Playhouse favorite, has helmed popular hits like “Gaslight,” “Dear Jack, Dear Louise” and “Savannah Sipping Society.” Musical director Mo Ortbal will lead the cast in Stephen Schwartz’s beloved score, while choreographer Timmy Gage creates a dynamic and playful movement style.

The production team consists of Cade Sikora (set designer), Michael Schloegl (costume designer), V.C. Deener (props designer), Justin Gibson (lighting designer) and Emmalee Stapleton (sound supervisor).

The production features a dynamic cast that blends Millbrook Playhouse veterans with exciting new faces, the release said. Millbrook Playhouse favorites returning to the stage include Ren Cementina (“The Rocky Horror Show,” “Rent”), Adam Fox (“Kid Frankenstein”), Jay’na Johnson (“Don’t Dress for Dinner”), John Murphy (“Don’t Dress for Dinner”), Danielle Standifer (“Vanities the Musical,” “The Great American Trailer Park”). Stepping into the roles of Jesus and John/Judas are Gideon Ethridge and Kasey Karoll, respectively. Newcomers to Millbrook Playhouse include Alexis Griess, Ryleigh Jane Jones and Shantel Hill.
