This "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 setting of
rural Georgia with 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. A
rollicking, toe-tapping, hand-clapping musical!
Seating for all shows will be "dinner theater" family style at
tables surrounding the stage. Before the Friday and Saturday shows come
enjoy a finger lickin' southern supper, including dessert (6:30 p.m. –
7:30 p.m.) then sit back, relax and take in some down home
entertainment provided by the youth of BPC and a live band. The cost of
a dinner ticket is $12.00 for grownups and $5.00 for youngins (babies
under 2 years are free of charge). There is no charge for the Thursday
and Sunday shows – but free will donations are much obliged! A
concession stand will be available at all shows stocked full of baked
goods, treats, and beverages available for sale.
Dinner tickets (Fri/Sat shows) will go on sale at BPC on Sunday,
February 19th after 2nd service. Reservations for the Thursday and
Sunday performances will begin on February 26th.
