BREAKDOWN

“The Gospel at Colonus” is an African American musical interpretation of Sophocles' tragedy, Oedipus at Colonus. The musical is inspired by the uplifting, soul-stirring gospel music and preaching in the African American church. This production is a concert version of the musical and will feature minimal choreography, but actors must be comfortable with stylized movement.
