Cast announced for spring musical at the HUB

Feb. 21—HUDSON — The cast has been announced for the 30th town of Hudson Dinner Theatre Production. The rollicking musical, "Cotton Patch Gospel," will be presented in the HUB Station Theatre on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, March 31st, April 1st, 2nd, 7th, 8th, and 9th. Tickets are now on sale.

"Cotton Patch Gospel" is adapted from the book, "The Cotton Patch Version of Matthew and John" by Dr. Clarence Jordan, a Baptist minister, New Testament Greek scholar, and founder of the Koinonia Farm in Georgia. It is from here that the Habitat for Humanity program was developed.

"Cotton Patch Gospel" sets the gospel in modern times in Georgia and is billed as "The Greatest Story Every Retold." The show features the last music and lyrics written by Harry Chapin before his untimely death.

"This is a beautiful rendering of the gospel, both funny and reverent, with beautiful, inspiring and clever music and lyrics," said show director Keith Smith.

The show is dinner theatre and will be catered by Dan'l Boone Inn. Dinner is served at 6:30 p.m. with the show to follow at 7:30 p.m. Tickets can be purchased either by going to the HUB Station Box Office at 145 Cedar Valley Road in Hudson, calling 828-726-8871, or going online to tix.com.

Tickets are $35 for both dinner and the show, $17.50 for the show only. This show is sponsored by McCreary Modern and by a grassroots grant from the Caldwell County Arts Council. For more information, please call (828) 726-8871.
