"Cotton Patch Gospel" Cast Announced
Published on: August 26, 2016
Winder-Barrow Community Theatre is proud to announce the cast of “Cotton Patch Gospel”. This musical with music and lyrics by Harry Chapin was written by Tom Key and Russell Treyz. The play is based on the book “The Cotton Patch Version of Matthew and John” by Clarence Jordan. The show presents the gospel story of the life of Jesus as if he was born in Gainesville, Georgia. What would we have said and done if Jesus had been born right here in Georgia? How would we have reacted when he was telling the world why he was here? The show is a lot of fun but still presents the gospel story.
Tickets are currently on sale at the Winder Customer Care Center (770-867-3106 Prompt one for Event Ticket Sales) and at Pam Veader’s State Farm Insurance office at 41 S. Center Street in Winder (770-867-1679). Tickets for all ages are only $10.00. You are encouraged to purchase your tickets early since the show is expected to sell out. When WBCT presented this show in 2013, over 1000 people saw the show over the two weekends.
All proceeds of this show will be used to fund several scholarships given by WBCT during the year. These scholarships include 2 for high school seniors who are planning on attending college in any of the Fine Arts fields, 20 drama camp scholarships for Boys and Girls Club members, and band scholarships for several Russell Middle School students in conjunction with the John Hasty Scholarship Fund.
