Back to ‘Godspell’

Henry Gainza, who plays Lamar in the season-opening production of Godspell at Actors’ Playhouse, reports that seeing the show at Actors’ in 1990 as a sophomore at Miami Coral Park Senior High inspired him to become an actor. Since then, the University of Miami grad has appeared Off-Broadway and on Saturday Night Live and has won awards for his songwriting.

With a score by Wicked composer Stephen Schwartz, the new production of Godspell previews at 8 p.m. Wednesday-Thursday and opens Friday for a run through Nov. 4. Tickets are $37 for previews, $50 for Friday-Saturday $42 for other shows, with senior discounts and student rush tickets except Saturday-Sunday; 305-444-9293, actorsplayhouse.org.
