Harry Chapin's Cotton Patch Gospel - A Great Pick!
The Provision Theater Company opened their season last week with a revival of their 2004 production of Cotton Patch Gospel. The Cotton Patch Gospel is a reverent retelling of the Gospels of Matthew and John, set to Bluegrass music. Based on the book, The Cotton Patch Gospel of Matthew and John by Civil Rights Activist Clarence Jordan, this musical has music and lyrics by the late Folk Balladeer Harry Chapin with book by Tom Key and Russel Treyz. Lou Contey directs the current production in the Company's beautiful new home on West Roosevelt, running through November 8.
