Written by John-Midiael
Tebelak, with music by

spell” is a jubilant
celebration of the Good News.
It is a release of the spirit, to
be felt joyously. In brief, it ex
presses the belief that the
passion of Jesus Chnst was
meant to instill love and joy in
the hearts of people.
Part down show, part min
strel show, part vaudeville,
eminently theatrical, “God
spell” uses music, dance,
mime and other devices to
show how contemporary the
New Testament story can be
and what it is to “Love they
neighbor” with joy and sim
plicity.

son (assisted by Jan
Williams). Musical direction
IS by SaUy Ann Morris, and
