Widi the musical help of Gary Eisele and the vocal coaching of Dee Kittany, John-Michael Tebelak's musical evolved into a unique adaptation of the orig- inal. Godspell was written in the 1970s when religion and mu- sic came together on new lev- els. As we all know, the '70s were a strange time, and that comes through with the hu- mor, costuming, and dialogue of the play. Oncd you are able to accept the play as a product of the time period, you can begin to appreciate the actual messages thatmotivate the plot: religion is okay, God/Jesus is good, and there is hope for our salvation. Once you get past the "deep messages" of the musical, you can move on to enjoying the music and the presentation.

This could be seen as a problem by some. The women's soccer team ran into this 'problem' twice last week.
