Cotton Patch Gospel is a lively musical written by Atlanta-based actor Tom Key and stage director Russell Treyz with music and lyrics by Harry Chapin. It is based on Baptist minister Clarence Jordan's version of the Gospels of Matthew and John, written in the Southern idiom. The production's folk and bluegrass style songs take the audience on a journey through the stages of Jesus' life and earthly ministry as if he had lived right here in the state of Georgia. Like Jordan's original, the musical is intended to offer people a fresh perspective on Jesus' life and provide a modern twist on the Gospel message. Join us for this thoughtful and entertaining presentation.
