A few weeks ago, I found out that I received the role of my dreams: Jesus from Godspell! This was huge! It's my favorite musical and I have wanted to play Jesus from this show for a very long time. At 1:00AM, I danced and leapt for joy (there is evidence on video which will not be disclosed to the public at this time). It was definitely one of the highlights of my life!
Every time I would tell people that I hoped to one day play Jesus in Godspell, they'd say "Why? That would be so hard, portraying a perfect person." While I definitely agree that it has been exceedingly difficult, my prayer, from Day 1, as been this: "Lord, as I'm working hard to portray You onstage, help me to be more like You offstage." I'm excited to see what God does in the rest of this journey!
In my opinion, the role of Jesus is the ultimate challenge. Not only in the sense of portraying a person who had no faults, but also a constant being that has the power to save lives. As the show approaches, I will begin to pray that He would send struggling, hurting people to see Godspell and that it would be a life-changing production. I realize the huge responsibility that has been placed on my shoulders and I can assure you all that I will put my very best into this and nothing less!
I hope you all come see Godspell, as it is going to be fantastic! I'm really looking forward to this incredible opportunity!
