Possums’ ‘Godspell’ outdoor performances to start Sept. 11

August 9, 2020

Possum Point Players actors are preparing to perform outside as they bring a production of “Godspell” to the wide-open space beside their theater in Georgetown.

To make sure the reunion with friends and supporters is safe for everyone, all performances will be staged outdoors adjacent to Possum Hall.

Tickets are on sale now. The number sold will be determined according to appropriate distancing for audience members and cast. Friday shows are at 6:30 p.m.; Saturday and Sunday shows are at 2 p.m.

There will be rain dates if any shows have to be rescheduled due to inclement weather. Attendants will direct parking and provide directions to seating.

Stage Director John H. Hulse invites the community members to come and enjoy an uplifting musical experience. He said “Godspell” is a modern, vibrant retelling of the biblical parables and the last days of Jesus’ life in a joyous, contemporary version of the Gospel according to St. Matthew. Hulse said the show uses music and dance to tell Christ’s message of kindness, tolerance and love in sometimes funny and sometimes sentimental ways. Songs include “Save the People,” “Turn Back, O Man,” “Beautiful City” and “Day by Day.”

The musical will be performed by Hunter Graves, Rehoboth Beach; Delaney Cinnamon and Sarah Rose, Lewes; Alonzo Dixon, Bridgeville; Abby Krams, Maddie Moore and Ashlie Workman, Millsboro; Dillon Mangene and Abigail Porter, Seaford; and Landon Rockwell, Georgetown. Graves portrays Jesus and Rose has dual roles of John the Baptist and Judas.

The production team is led by Hulse of Rehoboth Beach and music director is Stacey Hartman of Georgetown. Donna Flomp of Milton is stage manager and production assistant is Jake Darmstadler of Georgetown.

”Godspell” is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International which also supplied all authorized performance materials.
