Music legend Harry Chapin penned the amazing music for this perennial favorite brought to you by Georgia Ensemble Theatre and Tom Key's Theatrical Outfit. Imagine what might have happened had Jesus been born in Georgia, with Gainesville standing in for Bethlehem, Valdosta for Nazareth, and Atlanta as the fateful Jerusalem. A musical gem for all ages.
