PERFORMING arts students at Craven College will tread the boards at Skipton's Mart Theatre this weekend.
They will stage the rock opera, Godspell, tomorrow and Saturday at 7.15pm.
When the musical was first produced on Broadway in 1971, it broke new ground in its stage treatment of the historical Jesus Christ.
Based on St Matthew's Gospel, it deals with the last days of Jesus and includes dramatised versions of several well-known parables.
The cast are conceived as clowns, improvising scenery and costumes, and using many well-known theatrical devices, pantomime vaudeville and varied musical styles to interpret one of humanity's greatest events.
Tickets cost £9 for adults and £6 for concessions and are available from 01756 709666 or themarttheatre.org.uk
