The Gospel of Matthew is alive and well on stage at Folsom Lake College, as Falcon’s Eye Theatre presents Godspell. In 1971, composer Stephen Schwartz (Wicked) and writer John-Michael Tebelak introduced their show that reimagines the Gospel through a series of parables, songs, and storytelling. This production places the story in a world framed by looming office buildings—a choice that asks what faith, kindness, and community look like in the contemporary world.
