A founding father, a Victorian novelist and a Russian revolutionary come together for a battle of wits in encore performances of Scott Carter’s “The Gospel According to Thomas Jefferson, Charles Dickens and Count Leo Tolstoy: Discord” on Feb. 24 and 25 at 7:30 p.m. at the Cookeville Performing Arts Center.
“Backstage at CPAC has a history of producing award-winning theater,” Chad McDonald, Cookeville Leisure Services cultural arts superintendent, said. “This production follows in the footsteps of several others that have garnered honors.”
“Gospel,” directed by Steve Gwilt, along with Michael Birdwell as assistant director, was chosen as Outstanding Production at the state competition at the Renaissance Center in Dickson in October. This award comes with the honor of representing the state at regional competition at the Southeastern Theatre Conference in Lexington, Ky., in March to compete against the best theaters in 10 states.
“Before the show leaves Cookeville, you will have one last chance to catch the competition version on Feb. 24 and 25 at CPAC,” McDonald said.
Ticket are $10 each or $5 for students. For more information, call CPAC at 931-528-1313 or visit www.cookeville-tn.gov/ls/cpac.
