Provision Theater’s Godspell - Provision Theater Company, a multi-Jeff nominated Equity Chicago theater company, is underway with one of the most popular rock musicals of all time, GODSPELL and the critics love it. Critic: I found it to be an entertaining production and left the theater feeling good (and humming “Day by Day”) and isn’t that what theater is supposed to do? If you have never seen “Godspell” , this is a production worth seeing and at a very affordable price. — AROUND THE TOWN CHICAGO GET TICKETS HERE
