Godspell

In 1975, almost a third of the school was involved in some aspect of the production of Godspell.  With school chaplain Geoff Burger in the role of Jesus, it was produced by Peter Schmidt and Peter Westhorp.
The performances were a measurable success with full houses and good profits. More importantly, the whole experience was an intangible success in terms of school spirit, fellowship, sharing and spiritual insights.
Student comments about their involvement were overwhelmingly positive.

‘For me the Bible has come alive…. I began to appreciate my faith in a new way… I learned how to be more happy and joyful in my faith.’

‘Two friends of mine who had seen the London and Sydney productions said that ours had something which the others didn’t have, a different feeling.’

The second Concordia production of Godspell, 26 years later in 2001, was also memorable.

In Review for that year Rod Kirk writes, ‘Whether it was the story being told, the fabulous music, the 1970s setting or the energy from everyone, Godspell certainly cast its own spell over all of us!’
