I went to an incredibly moving production of Godspell, staged by the students at Gettysburg College (in Pennsylvania) in the late '70s. The setting was a "vacant city lot", and the stage seemed to be bare of any scenery, but throughout the play the actors would before your eyes assemble things out of the newspaper, bottles, wire and other "trash" in the lot. Whole trees and other objects would suddenly appear. I still remember the cast entering by streaming down the aisles singing "Pre-e-e-pare Ye".
