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.

GODSPELL - 2025

Join us as we celebrate 10 YEARS of Theater Ministry at First Congregational Church, UCC, by bringing back the show that started it all: GODSPELL (2012 Revised Version)!  


A small group of people help Jesus Christ tell different parables by using a wide variety of games, storytelling techniques and a hefty dose of comic timing. An eclectic blend of songs, ranging in style from pop to vaudeville, is employed as the story of Jesus' life dances across the stage. Dissolving hauntingly into the Last Supper and the Crucifixion, Jesus' messages of kindness, tolerance and love come vibrantly to life. 


Show Dates are March 28, 29 & 30. Purchase tickets below:


Friday, March 28
