When a small group from Benton staged “Godspell” in 1977, they had no idea that a tradition was born that would continue for the next 40 years.

“We took what we loved to do and just ran with it,” says Brian Summers, one of the group that became Pyramid Players.

In its 40-year run, the group has produced an astonishing number of kids who have gone on to making a living in the entertainment industry. That group includes performers, teachers and technical crew.
