Educational Cultural Complex presents
The Gospel at Colonus
A musical adapted by Bob Telson & Lee Breuer
directed by Calvin Manson

We close our season with an electrifying, soul-stirring, foot-stomping gospel musical, the Tony Award winning The Gospel at Colonus , the re-telling the classical Greek tragedy of Sophocles’ Oedipus at Colonus.  This seamlessly production blends the agony of Greek tragedy with the ecstasy of American gospel music.
