Cotton Patch Gospel Broadway Show

The purpose is to raise money for local, national, and international programs that help fight hunger.

The story, inspired by Koinonia farms founder Clarence Jordan, Translations of the Gospels, imagines what it would be like if Jesus were born in Gainesville, Georgia in the 20th century. Those old bible stories take on a new twist as Mary Hagler and Joe Davidson raise a most miraculous human.

What makes the Cotton Patch Gospel truly unique, is the one man performance by native Illinoisa, Phillip Kaufmann. With permission from the Chapin family, and through the use of audio and video technology, Phillip portrays over 20 characters, plays 11 musicial instruments and sings his own backup vocals. His performance, combined with an excellent script makes this a performance that you don’t want to miss.

100 proceeds go to FIGHT HUNGER LOCALLY,NATIONALLY,AND GLOBALLY.
