About THE PRODUCTION
Presented by Pyramid Theatre Company and Des Moines Performing Arts:
The Gospel at Colonus
Set in the context of a Black Pentecostal service, this production follows the 2,400 year old myth of Oedipus at the end of his life, highlighting themes of forgiveness, redemption, life and love. With lively musical performances and dance to gospel and blues scores, The Gospel at Colonus is a riveting experience from beginning to end.
The musical features a book, original lyrics, and direction by Breuer, and original music, adapted lyrics, and music direction by Bob Telson. The Gospel at Colonus will be Pyramid’s first musical production, and will be co-directed by Ken-Matt Martin, former Executive Director and Tiffany Johnson current Producing Artistic Director.
Pyramid and DMPA are inviting local Black owned businesses to set up a booth to promote their business for the weekend.
