The student-led Rose-Hulman drama club will open its 2023-24 season with a four-day showing of “Godspell,” running October 20-22 at Hatfield Hall Theatre.

In “Godspell,” 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, the messages of kindness, tolerance, and love come vibrantly to life. 

Tickets for the show are $20 for adults, $15 for those under 18 and Rose-Hulman faculty and staff, and free for Rose-Hulman students with a valid identification card. Showtimes are 7:30 p.m. on October 20; 1:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. on October 21; and 1:30 p.m. on October 22. 

Tickets can be purchased at hatfieldhall.com, by calling 812-877-8544, or visiting the Hatfield Hall ticket desk Tuesday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. If still available, tickets also could be purchased at the ticket desk beginning one hour before the show.
