The 1981 faith-based musical, Cotton Patch Gospel, was a collaboration between playwrights Tom Key and Russell Treyz, with original lyrics and music penned by Harry Chapin right before Chapin’s tragic death at age 38. Set squarely in the heart of modern-day, rural Georgia, the musical interprets the teachings of the Gospel of Matthew and converts them into a winning, musical odyssey.
