The other disciples include Abby Goeckner, Mikhaela Romoser, Aaron Johnson, Hannah Andres, Connor Lewis, Abby Davis, Erika Clark, and Destin Woods. “They aren’t called by a script character name, they are called by their own names,” Motley noted. Brennan Davis plays Jesus, and Logan Sherrill plays Judas while eight other students represent the disciples.

And definitely a different acting style for the kids to learn.” “Everybody gets to give their ideas so it’s been kind of unusual and a fun rehearsal process for us in that regard. “It’s a very improvisational show as you figure out hey, what’s the best way to tell the story with the kids we’ve got,” Motley added. Try whatever you want.' It’s different,” Motley said. You can’t change the language at all, but with this one, they tell you, 'Have fun. A lot of scripts - you have to go by the book - you can’t make any cuts. “There’s a lot of ad-libbing in it - a lot of leeway, and they let you have that. Motley also pointed out that the interesting part about this production is that the "Godspell" writers allow for creative interpretation. “It’s been a real popular show over the years, and it was just revised on Broadway last year in 2012,” Motley noted.

In the Gnostic world Jesus was not even physical (for being of spirit, he could have no flesh, viz. Thus the god of the old testament was made to correspond to the "god of the physical world" and the Christ as the "god of the spirit". Having seen the effectiveness of Christianity, the Gnostics usurped practically every Christian character and theme in order to make their claims "valid" in the eyes of the early Christian followers. Gnosticism predates Christianity and proposes that there are actually two gods, one of the spirit (and thus good) and one of the physical world (and thus is evil). Ostensibly an authentic Christian text which was suppressed by the Catholic Church, it is, in reality, a Gnostic text and has nothing to do with Christianity.
