Portadown Junior Phoenix Players are bringing the global musical phenomenon ‘Godspell’ to their hometown stage.

The show, based on the New Testament gospels reimagined with bold and playful musical storytelling, will be performed at Portadown Town Hall from Wednesday, August 19 to Saturday, August 22 starting at 7.30pm each night.

Director Nadya Daley described the talent of the young people involved in the show as “extraordinary”.

"They are willing to get uncomfortable and work hard. This is the resilience we need in the world,” she said.

Musical director Brian Greene added that the production promises “laughter, inspiration and music that will stay with you long after the final curtain falls”.

Photographer Tony Hendron caught up with the show’s cast and production team during rehearsal.
