Dramaturgs Darci Ramirez and Andrew Elijah Schindler invited scholars from the BYU Region Department to join us in discussions about the Jesus Christ of Godspell. Multiple similar forums will be held in connection with this production.

Dr. Jason Combs, Dr. Mark Ellison, Dr. Joseph Spencer, and Dr. Matthew Grey join the panel to discuss various interpretations of Jesus Christ in the New Testament and portrayals of Christ in art throughout the centuries.

We have three additional forums coming up, and invite anyone to join us in the Mainstage Theatre on West Campus!

  • Saturday, March 18, 4:30 pm (immediately following the matinee performance.)
  • Saturday, March 25, 4:30 pm (immediately following the matinee performance.)
  • Thursday, March 30, 9:30 pm (immediately following the evening performance.)

Scene Summaries with Cast

February 14, 2022 12:00 AM
by Pollyanna Eyler, dramaturg What can you expect when you come to the BYU Opera Scenes? Our “Dreams and Nightmares” program explores how quickly one can turn into the other, and how the line between fantasy and reality can sometimes be very thin. We’ve modernized and adapted many of these scenes, so you may be able to relate to what is happening on the stage. We’ve even put in some of our own modern musical “easter eggs” specifically for our BYU audience members. See if you can catch them! My hope is that anyone, whether they are brand new to opera or a seasoned veteran, will be able to laugh, cry, enjoy, and be enlightened by our diverse and beautiful program. ― Shea Owens, Opera Director
