Godspell - LIVE Theater Performance
2021-08-13 18:30 - 2021-08-15 20:30, 2021-08-20 18:30 - 2021-08-22 20:30, 2021-08-27 18:30 - 2021-08-29 20:30
Smolak Farms and Firehouse Center for the Arts are thrilled to present the Stephen Schwartz classic – Godspell.
Godspell was the first major musical theatre offering from three-time Grammy and Academy Award winner, Stephen Schwartz (Wicked, Pippin, Children of Eden); and it took the world by storm. Led by the international hit, “Day by Day,” Godspell features a parade of beloved songs, including “Prepare Ye the Way of the Lord,” “Learn Your Lessons Well,” “All for the Best,” “All Good Gifts,” “Turn Back, O Man” and “By My Side.”
A small group of people help Jesus Christ tell different parables by using a wide variety of games, storytelling techniques and a hefty dose of comic timing. An eclectic blend of songs, ranging in style from pop to vaudeville, is employed as the story of Jesus’ life dances across the stage. Dissolving hauntingly into the Last Supper and the Crucifixion, Jesus’ messages of kindness, tolerance and love come vibrantly to life.
Boasting a score with chart-topping songs, a book by a visionary playwright (John-Michael Tebelak) and a feature film, Godspell is a sensation that continues to touch audiences.
The show will run live at Smolak Farms for 3 weekends in August (August 13-15, 20-22 and 27-29) from Friday-Sunday at 6:30pm each night.
Pre-ordered dinner options will also be available, details coming soon!

Saint Bernard's at Smolak Farms

Join the New England Saint Bernard Club at Smolak Farms for a sled pull!

The lovable and gentle Saint Bernards from New England Saint Bernard Club will be around to pull them back to your car, take pictures with you, and make your day unforgettable!
A bit of background on The New England Saint Bernard Club
The New England Saint Bernard Club was formed in 1946 to promote the betterment and welfare of the Saint Bernard Breed. The New England Saint Bernard Club has members covering a territory of over 72,000 miles including New England, New York, New Jersey and the Carolinas.

Curious to learn more about the Saint Bernard breed?
As early as 1050 in the Swiss Alps, Bernard of Menthon established a hospice to assist travelers to Rome. With snow drifts as high as 40 feet powerful working dogs, later known as the Saint Bernard was used to move with the travelers. Over the course of three centuries of work it is estimated that Saints rescued more than 2,000 lives while traveling across the Alps. In addition to working through the Mountains, Saints also worked as guard, herding and draft dogs for the valley farms and Alpine dairies. The original Saint Bernard was a short hair/smooth coat and the long hair/rough coat was not bred into the Breed until 1830.

The Saint Bernard is considered a Giant Breed dog, weighing between 140-180 pounds for males and 120-140 pounds for females. The Breed Standard, created by the Saint Bernard Club of America, calls for males to be 28-30 inches at the withers and females to be 26-28 inches. The average lifespan of the Saint Bernard is 8-10 years and part of the AKC Working Group. The Breed Standard uses the word “powerful” multiple times to describe the appearance of the Breed, as the image of the dog should be such.
