A local youth theater company is putting on a production of Godspell this weekend at P.S. 212 in Jackson Heights.

Unity Stage, a Sunnyside-based non profit organization that facilitates performance art for children, is producing its first middle school production with this play.

The show, performed by 17 students, is about a small group of people who help Jesus Christ tell different parables by using a wide variety of games, storytelling techniques, and a hefty dose of comedic timing.

The musical features songs such as “Day by Day”, “By My Side”, and “Beautiful City.”
