NCC Presents Godspell
Nash Community College students presented a compelling, joyous and quite entertaining production of Godspell last weekend offering a dinner theatre and two show-only performances. Based on the Gospel of Matthew, Godspell presents a unique and revealing look at how community forms around a charismatic leader, and what that community can accomplish together. The exciting update of the classic rock musical by Stephen Schwartz brought to Rocky Mount a story of community that has endured for more than 40 years.
