Artistry Presents
GODSPELL Artistry’s 2023 Season features GODSPELL, a modern-day telling of the Gospel of St. Matthew that brings Jesus’ message of kindness, tolerance, and love to life through song, dance, and improvisation. The production, with a Sunday August 13, closing performance, features stellar local artists including John Jamison II as Jesus, Jordan Legget as John and Judas, Ben Dutcher as Nick, Elena Glass as Lindsay, Grace Hillmyer as Morgan, Javari Horne as Anna Maria and Dance Captain, Annika Isbell as Swing, Caleb Michael as George, Wariboko Semenitari as Uzo, Ben Siglin as Swing, and Nora Sonneborn as Celisse. Artistry is a multi-faceted producing arts organization and the anchor tenant at Bloomington Center for the Art, 1800 W. Old Shakopee Road, Bloomington. The South Metro’s largest nonprofit professional theater, Artistry produces large-scale classics and smaller, more contemporary chamber musicals. Artistry serves more than 82,000 people per year. Vanessa Brooke Agnes directs this touching and haunting story of kindness, love, and community. Choreographer Kyle Weiler, musical director Bradley Beahen, and associate director Brittany Marie Wilson deliver “Soul-filling music, joyful movement and universal lessons (that) make this piece a feast for the senses and the spirit,” says Agnes. The production team features the creative talents of Katie Edwards (Scenic Designer), Kyia Britts (Lighting Designer), Jacourtney Mountain-Bluhm (Costume Designer), Britt Hilton (Hair & Makeup Designer), Born Into Royalty (Sound Designer), Will Rafferty (Technical Director), and Katie Phillips (Production & Properties Manager). Single tickets range from $18–$48 and can be purchased online at www.artistrymn.org and by visiting or calling the Box Office 952-563-8575. Box Office hours are Wednesday through Friday from 1-5pm.
