Stone Soup

By Karen Boettcher-Tate
Director: Travis Baile

We visit a once peaceful town, where 2 valiant knights have become celebrities for vanquishing some fearsome dragons. An envious mother wants the credit to go to her handsome but dopey son, Rafferty, and ignores her good son, Rocky, who wants to be a chef! But all is not as it seems with the knight-heroes! (Or is it “heroines”??) When Rafferty convinces the town that he, not the knights, should get the credit for the victory, Rocky helps the knights cook up some of that old favourite—Stone Soup! Will Rafferty’s plot be exposed at the banquet! Will he get his just “desserts”? (Family)

Godspell is one of the best-loved and most playful musicals of all time. It is also one of the most meaningful. Drawing from various theatrical traditions such as clowning, pantomime, charades, acrobatics and vaudeville, Godspell is a groundbreaking and unique depiction of the life of Jesus, with an inspiring message of love, tolerance and kindness. Filled with memorable songs like Day by Day, Godspell is a delight to perform and a treasure to watch! (Family)
