County), and Blair Pinson as Cha-Cha DiGregorio (Atwood).

 HUNTINGDON,
Tenn. – The Dixie Carter Performing Arts Center announces open

July 24-26, 2008 at 7:30 p.m.). The show includes a variety of

“Godspell” is based on the Gospel according to St. Matthew, and
this modern and contemporary retelling is a joyous celebration
of music, mime, comedy, and slapstick. The score of “Godspell”
calls on all modern musical influences, including Rock, Gospel,
and Ragtime - and includes the hits "Prepare Ye the Way of the
Lord" and "Day by Day."
The story of “Godspell” speaks to the passion of Jesus Christ,
to teach love and joy in the hearts of the people, rather than
hate and sadness. It speaks of loving your neighbor,
forgiveness, tolerance, and celebration.
