Based on the Gospel According to Matthew, GODSPELL - with a score by Academy and Grammy Award-winner and six-time Tony Award-nominee Stephen Schwartz (WICKED, PIPPIN) and book by John-Michael Tebelak - uses improvisation and contemporary themes to illustrate a message of kindness, community, and hope that still resonates today.

"We're setting our production in a mystical room," says director and set designer M. William Panek. "We meet our 10 characters in the midst of working on a project. Throughout their time together, the ensemble joins together as a community to tell the story of Jesus through music, emotional openness, and collaborative storytelling."

Don't expect juggling, clowns, or out-dated references in The Brown Paper Box Co.'s production of GODSPELL. Panek and his design team (including long-time musical director and collaborator Katie Colby) promise a one-of-kind rendition of this classic musical you'll only experience in Chicago. Panek declares, "We're treating this classic musical as a modern play with music. With our cast of 10 stellar actor-musicians, be prepared to see and hear GODSPELL in a way you never have before."
