The Wayside Theatre at Middletown will present the musical, COTTON PATCH GOSPEL from March 21 - April 25.
"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 southern setting in rural Georgia with Blue Grass and 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. The musical details the life, death and resurrection of Jesus.
