Good Show for First Sunday of Lent
The cast of SJC students did a great job in their rendition of the 1971 classic Godspell as they continue the 25th anniversary season of the Clare Rose Playhouse in Patchogue. I had forgotten about the dialogue in the play and how it is updated to reference current conditions. The inclusion of Yankees (exalted) and Mets (humbled) in one of the parables was clever, making the show even more accessible to newcomers. I have to think think that being part of the cast of Godspell can have a profound effect on a young person. Tommy enjoyed it and thought it was cool that the same guy wrote Wicked, his current favorite play... until the next one. A nice way to continue the purple season.
