Watermark Auto Group and The Voice Studio of Granger Odum present Cotton Patch Gospel!
Book by Tom Key and Russell Treyz. Music and lyrics by Harry Chapin.
Produced by special arrangement with THE DRAMATIC PUBLISHING COMPANY of Woodstock, Illinois
This "Greatest Story Ever Retold" is based on the book The Cotton Patch Version of Matthew and John by Clarence Jordan in which the Gospel is presented in a setting of rural Georgia with country music songs, the final and perhaps best work of Harry Chapin. As this Gospel begins, they sing that "Somethin's a-brewin' in Gainesville." Herod is the mayor of Atlanta and, inevitably, Christ is lynched by local thugs only to rise again. Drama critics loved this show and so did a broad spectrum of religious commentators.
Friday and Saturday performances at 7:00pm. Sunday matinee at 2:00pm
