In the News(paper)
The Augusta Chronicle visited us last Monday night during rehearsal and did a great article about The Company of Job. They also produced a really nice interview with yours truly, which is available online at this link.
While the article overall was pretty good, I did have to take them to task for one statement. According the the article, “The opera features classic hymns such as Our Redeemer Lives, played in rock-opera style with electric guitar, drums, oboe, trumpets and flutes.” Ummm… Sorry, but we don’t do any classic hymns. All of the songs are original, and almost all of them were written by me (Don Harris) and my wife, Suzanne.
I do think the article can be credited with bringing a few people to the show who otherwise would not have known about it. We really did not want to sell many more tickets because we did not know if we’d have enough food, but I got a few phone calls on Saturday from people who wanted to come and I know we had some people buy tickets at the door. So we thank the Augusta Chronicle for that.
