Cotton Patch Gospel
August 12 – August 30, 2009
Written by Tom Key and Russell Treyz
with Music & Lyrics by Harry Chapin
Produced in Association with Georgia Ensemble Theatre
“Cotton Patch Gospel is the musical that asks: Would the people of today’s world know a savior if they saw him? … the underlying message is spiritual … it’s deeply moving … ”
– Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Regarding Cotton Patch Gospel, [Tom] Key explains that since its Off-Broadway premiere in 1981, “It is still one of the most produced musicals in America. Harry Chapin’s score still resonates more profoundly than ever. Habitat for Humanity and Koinonia Partners, both inspired by Dr. Clarence Jordan, author of the Cotton Patch paraphrase of the New Testament on which the play is based, are still going strong. So, I am thrilled to be sharing my personal vision of the work with a whole new mix of some young talent fresh to the material and some who have performed the show with me since the 1990’s. This production will, of course, be grounded in the stories and music the audiences have come to love while taking on a whole new sensibility of how the Gospel translates to the 21st Century. I think no matter what our religious backgrounds are, we would all agree that now is the time for some good news.”
