Dear Youth of FLC,
Come join the excitement and fun of music, drama and comedy at camp this
summer at FLC!
This summer we are going to do a musical called Godspell Jr. by Stephen
Schwartz.
Based on the Gospel According to St. Matthew, Godspell Jr. features the
international hit "Day By Day," as well as "Prepare Ye The Way Of The
Lord," "Learn Your Lessons Well," "All For The Best," and "All Good Gifts."
In this energetic, uplifting musical, the parables of Jesus Christ come to life with abundant
humanity and heart. Drawing from various theatrical traditions, such as clowning, pantomime,
acrobatics and vaudeville, Godspell Jr. is a unique reflection on the life of Jesus with a
message of kindness, tolerance, and love.
Things to know:
