Theater to present ‘Cotton Patch Gospel’


The award-winning Artists Collaborative Theater in Elkhorn City will present the highly-acclaimed “Cotton Patch Gospel” beginning Thursday, May 9. Curtain time is 7 p.m.

The musical drama retells the gospels of Matthew and John —by translating them into the present day Southern vernacular.

The musical score of “Cotton Patch Gospel” is by the late Harry Chapin, founder of “World Hunger Year” and composer of such well-known hits as “Cat’s in the Cradle” and “Taxi”. “Cotton Patch Gospel” will be presented Thursday through Saturday evenings beginning at 7 p.m. and on Sundays at 3 p.m. “Cotton Patch Gospel” runs May 9 through June 2.
