"GODSPELL" is one of those very so often to pump life more alive. lood into the theatre, the heatre that - according to he pundits — has been dying

The story behind "GODSPELL"‘ is proof, if any were needed, that the young are as concer— or centuries. Last rites have mad about this ancient art as any dyed—in—the—wool Shakes— perean traditionalist.

John—Michael Tebelak, 22,

required to direct a classic play as a thesis for his Fine Arts Degree. An incident at Sunrise Service on Easter Sun- day, fired Tebelak with the desire to write his own play for this production. Permiss- ion was given and "GODSPELL"

was born. And the incident?

He had been frisked for drugs by a town policeman in the nave of St. Paul's Cathedral where he had gone to worship on that. snowy, early spring morning.

The reception off—Broadway for this joyful celebration of the Gospel according to 'St. Matthew, as arranged by John—Michael Tebelak, with Stephen Schwartz as composer- lyricist, was ecstatic, and "GODSPELL" now goes down into theatrical history in the good' company of "THE THREEPENNY POPERA", "HAIR" and "THE FAN- 'TASTICKS" as the people's choice in theatrical entere tainment. .

"GODSPELL" is still running in New York and London, and has been seen by Canadians in Vancouver and Toronto prod— uctions. At one time, resident companies were playing in eight large American cities simultaneously with the New York production. Translations

The man who created this phenomenon, John—Michael Teb— elak, is said to have "walked into a New York theatre when he was nine and stayed there". He spent several summers, be— fore he wrote "GODSPELL", work— ing in summer and regional theatre during his University years. Among his awards, he has been named THEATRE MAN OF THE YEAR, as well as MOST PROM- ISING DIRECTOR, and he rec— eived the New York Drama, esk Citation in 1971. His f&,m version of "GODSPELL" was ch—

‘osen to open the Cannes Film

Festival of 1973.

Neptune Theatre's Artistic Director, John Wood, first saw "GODSPELL" during its Toronto production in 1972. He recent—‘ 1y saw it again in New York and is enthusiastic about bringing this jubilant, unusually though provoking musical to the Mari- times. He is equally enthused about his cast, ten ambitious, young talents recruited from his own wide theatrical exper- ience from coast to coast, though many of the ten players were chosen at auditions held in Nova Scotia earlier this year.
