The Firehouse Theatre invites their audience to join them outdoors for a rousing rendition of “Cotton Patch Gospel” May 6-23. The joyful musical, directed by Joey Folsom with music direction by Sonny Franks, seems to be a great choice for their first outdoors production.
“Cotton Patch Gospel” also serves as the kickoff show for Firehouse Theatre’s 2021-22 season. The inspirational musical is filled with bluegrass, country, and toe-tapping gospel music that accentuates “the greatest story ever retold.”
David Moore, “Firehouse Theatre’s Executive Director, said, “We wanted our first show of the season to be about faith. Something special to lift our patrons’ spirits. And because we wanted our first show to be produced outdoors in our back lot, this musical seemed like the perfect opportunity.”
