In the 1970s, John-Michael Tebelak was studying to become a priest at Carnegie Mellon. He was inspired by a student-led worship service he had witnessed and decided to create a musical based on the Gospel of Matthew. John-Michael Tebelak wrote the original concept and script for "Godspell" as part of his master's thesis project at Carnegie Mellon University in 1970. It was a great success.

Godspell came to life after Tebelak left university. He took the show to New York City, where prospective producers suggested a new score and brought in Stephen Schwartz for the job. The rescored show opened May 17, 1971, at the off-Broadway Cherry Lane Theatre and became a hit still in production today.

Godspell tells the story of how a small community of people help Jesus Christ tell different parables by using a wide variety of games, storytelling techniques, and a hefty dose of comic timing. 

This community of apprentices spends time with Jesus, eventually becoming like Him and carrying on His mission of making disciples to the world.
