THEATER

First Congregational Church, UCC has a long history of bringing the community together for theater experiences.  

Our summer youth theater program was inaugurated in August 2015 with a vibrant production of the Broadway version of Godspell, followed by spectacular productions of Jesus Christ Superstar in 2016, Guys and Dolls in 2017 and Children of Eden in 2018.  In the summer of 2019 the program presented the New England premiere of Here We Go ‘Round!  A Musical Fantasy, written the Rev. David Henkelmann, a member of our congregation.  The show was previously produced off Broadway when Dave was a minister in New York City, and was revived to wide acclaim once again in Randolph.


And in 2023, we sold out an entire weekend of performances of RENT!

 

Supporting enthusiastic and talented young actors from our congregation and the wider community, a team of our church and community members lends their time and talents to every aspect of these productions.

INTO THE WOODS


Music and Lyrics by STEPHEN SONDHEIM

Book by JAMES LAPINE


Directed by JEFF HOBART


Show dates: August 23, 24 & 25 7pm


As a result of the curse of a once-beautiful witch, a baker and his wife are childless.  Three days before the rise of a blue moon, they venture into the forest to find the ingredients that will restore the witch’s beauty: a milk-white cow, hair as yellow as corn, a blood-red cape, and a slipper of gold.  During their journey, they meet Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Rapunzel and Jack, each one on a quest to fulfill a wish.
