Central Stage Theatre of Kitsap County kicks off the 2015-2016 season with “Godspell.” Directed by Ty Brillhart, with music and vocal direction by Allison Verhofstadt and choreography by Gracie Raiford, “Godspell” is based on the Gospel of Matthew, with music by Stephen Schwartz and book by John-Michael Tebelak.

“Godspell” is a modern adaptation of the parables of Jesus, focusing on stories of friendship, kindness, acceptance and love. It features a wide range of music genres from country to pop and rock and roll to gospel.

“‘Godspell’ is a show that I hold very dear to my heart. I have been in the show twice and have seen it multiple times throughout the years,” Brillhart said. “It has been a dream of mine to be able to direct this show. ‘Godspell’ is very high energy with great life lessons and something the whole family can enjoy.”

Opening night for “Godspell” is Sept. 11, with additional performance on Sept. 12, 13, 18, 19, 20, 25, 26, 27, and Oct. 2-4.  Friday and Saturday performances are at 7:30 p.m. Sunday performances are at 4 p.m.  American Sign Language performances are on Sept. 25-26.
