Mike Yocum, professor at Grace College and director of “Godspell” said, “We are excited to present ‘Godspell’ for the first time at Grace. It’s funny, the music is very catchy and it does a wonderful job of powerfully presenting the life of Christ.” The production is comprised of a series of parables and several beloved songs including “Day by Day.”
Tickets for “Godspell” can be purchased at Tree of Life Bookstore in Winona Lake or Jazzman’s Café on the Grace College campus using cash or credit, or at the door with cash. Cost of admission is $7 for students and senior citizens and $9 for adults.
