Where to Start?
I know this post is 11 years old, but it's still available for people to read, so I'm commenting, too! We had to do this show in our church after our multi-purpose room had some structural issues (the ceiling was falling down!) and was being rebuilt. Everything had to be simplified, since we couldn't ever leave anything in the church after rehearsals or performances. Costumes were jeans and "Team Jesus" t-shirts that we found online and tie-dyed them (I still have mine and we did the show in 2010!). Jesus had red suspenders and was in a "Superman" t-shirt. The cast stayed on "stage" (the altar) for the entire show. In the beginning, they all wore sweatshirts or jackets over their t-shirts. During the "Save the People" song, they went back to a few strategically placed boxes and traded their sweatshirts for other accessories, such as fun hats or bowties or scarves. We couldn't have a set, but we used simple props to help tell each story. It was one of the best shows ever because of the simplicity! I am actually considering trying to do the show virtually this summer if I can get permission. Good luck to anyone who is doing Godspell!
