This summer, Columbine United Church will be joining forces with our neighbors from the surrounding Littleton community to present GODSPELL – A rock musical based on the Gospel of Matthew.

Before he wrote the music for WICKED, Stephen Schwartz wrote the unforgettable songs of GODSPELL. On August 1, 2, and 3, church members and Littleton community members of any, all, or no Faith traditions are invited to come perform them with us in our first-ever “Columbine United Church Presents” special event!

Whether you’re an old pro ready to come out of retirement, or a first-timer ready to make your stage debut… all are welcome to join us for this low-stress/ high-fun community performance experience.

This creative collaboration will feature professional Colorado-based actor/ singer, and Columbine United Church soloist, ANNA MARIA HIGH as Jesus. It will be led by a directorial team of artists whose work has been featured on professional stages all along Colorado’s Front Range and beyond!

Here are the details!
