I recently discovered the Pacific Conservatory for the Performing Arts while listening to the radio on the way to work. When I found out that they were doing an extended run of Godspell, I hastily signed on, excited at the prospect of seeing the musical that Westmont’s CC’s cafe (the fundraiser event for the college choir) did incredibly well in early 2007. Some friends and I also bought tickets for Ragtime, which I had never seen before, and the timing worked out so that we saw Ragtime on Saturday the 12th, which happened to be its opening night, and I saw Godspell the next evening on my way to Fresno from Santa Barbara for my vacation. After the shows I can definitely say that I am very impressed with the professionalism and talent of PCPA.
