I have a friend who told me, “I start every day looking for heaven on earth; and when I find it, that is for what I am grateful.” Yesterday I found my heaven on earth at Govans Presbyterian Church, where the Woodbrook Players put on a fabulous performance of Godspell. This was the revised 2012 version, and the latest in the bevy of Godspells.
When all the world is a hopeless jumble and the raindrops tumble all around… heaven opens up a magic lane. When all the clouds darken up the skyway, there’s a rainbow highway to be found, leading from your window pane… and rain did it ever this past weekend all over Charm City. And everywhere around it. If you’re wondering why you don’t recognize those lyrics as a part of the iconic “Somewhere Over The Rainbow” it’s because they weren’t included in the 1939 filmset that so many of us know and love.
