Cotton Patch Gospel

Playing to sell-out audiences and receiving rave reviews, Cotton Patch Gospel, presented by Playright Productions, is back at the Cumming Playhouse this year. If you did not see in 2008, you must make your plans to be here this October. Great show for all, including family, church groups, old and young alike!
Written by Tom Key and Russell Treyz, with original music and lyrics by Harry Chapin, Cotton Patch Gospel draws from a modern gospel translation written by Clarence Jordan. The musical presents the life of Christ, using southern vernacular to tell the gospel story - the greatest story ever re-told. The production poses the question, "What if Jesus was born in Gainesville, Georgia?" You'll visit Stone Mountain, the Chattahoochee River, and Atlanta along the way. This production's unique use of rural Georgia setting, modern times, and upbeat bluegrass music makes for an unforgettable presentation of the gospel. The show received rave reviews in 2008 throughout the state and the music is considered Harry Chapin's finest work. Audiences will enjoy the moving drama, side-splitting humor, and toe-tapping music that come together to make this show a must-see! Featuring many of the beloved cast members from "Smoke on the Mountain", Playright Productions proudly brings you another high quality show.
