Godspell features smallest cast ever The musical for this year was “Godspell”, a sort of modern day version about the life of Jesus Christ. It was staged on November eleventh and twelfth. The story, based on the Gospel according to Matthew, begins with Jesus finding his apostles. From there it proceeds through various incidents and parables, up to the crucifixion. This musical had the smallest cast ever. With the exception of Jerry Bartholomew, who played Jesus Christ, and Scott Zwick, cast as John the Baptist and Judas, every actor’s role was an individual interpretation of the play. Those actors developing individual characters were Val Presley, Barb Starosik, Phil Smith, Mark Stohr, Beth Heins, Shelly Raitt, Tracy Engel, and Jeannie Aerni. The rock music was provided by a back-up band consisting of Lyndy Grubaugh, Mike Fraka, Paul Richardson, Leslie Nielsen, and Susie Hervert. The play was under the direction of Mr. Boyd Bacon and Miss Ruth Schlobohm. The student director was Randy Lambrecht. 18
