An extraordinary portrayal of redemptive love, Godspell is a fun, modern day version of the New Testament parables straight from the Gospel according to Matthew. This Broadway smash hit features impressive music by Stephen Schwartz, including the international hit, “Day By Day,” along with “Prepare Ye The Way Of The Lord,” “All Good Gifts” and “By My Side.” Using a variety of theatrical storytelling traditions, such as clowning, pantomime, charades, acrobatics and vaudeville, Godspell is a groundbreaking and unique reflection on the life of Jesus, complete with a message of kindness, tolerance and hope.

In 1943, five students at the University of Munich and their philosophy professor were tried and convicted for their anonymous leafleting campaign calling for opposition to the Nazi regime. They called themselves “The White Rose.” Each year in April, 10,000 white roses are distributed on the University of Texas campus in remembrance of the approximately 10,000 people killed each day at Auschwitz.
