(HADDONFIELD, NJ) -- Haddonfield Plays and Players presents Godspell from May 9-24, 2025. Godspell is a musical with music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz and a book by John-Michael Tebelak. The show is structured as a series of parables, primarily based on the Gospel of Matthew, interspersed with music mostly set to lyrics from traditional hymns, with the passion of Christ appearing briefly near the end.

A small group of people help Jesus Christ tell different parables by using a wide variety of games, storytelling techniques and a hefty dose of comic timing. An eclectic blend of songs, ranging in style from pop to vaudeville, is employed as the story of Jesus' life dances across the stage. Dissolving hauntingly into the Last Supper and the Crucifixion, Jesus' messages of kindness, tolerance and love come vibrantly to life. 

Performances take place Friday, May 9 at 8:00pm; Saturday, May 10 at 8:00pm; Sunday, May 11 at 3:00pm; Thursday, May 15 at 8:00pm; Friday, May 16 at 8:00pm; Saturday, May 17 at 3:00pm & 8:00pm; Sunday, May 18 at 3:00pm; Thursday, May 22 at 8:00pm; Friday, May 23 at 8:00pm; Saturday, May 24 at 3:00pm & 8:00pm.
