BRISTOL — Elkhart Civic Theatre will hold auditions for the youth musical “Godspell Jr.” at 6 p.m. Aug. 21 and Aug. 22 at the Bristol Opera House, 210 E. Vistula St.

In the musical, a group of disciples help Jesus Christ tell different parables by using a wide variety of games, storytelling techniques and a hefty dose of comic timing. An eclectic blend of songs, ranging in style from pop to vaudeville, are employed as the story of Jesus’ life dances across the stage, as do his messages of kindness, tolerance and love.
