See performance troupe, The Company of Job, prepare for a dinner theater production of "Job: A Postmodern Opera of Biblical Proportions"

Most people in Augusta hear the term Amen Corner and they think of Holes 11 through 13 at Augusta National Golf Club. But churchfolk across the South take Amen Corner to mean the corner of the front pew in church where the deacon sits and says "Amen, preacher," whenever the pastor makes a particular point. The Your Faith page Amen Corner is a weekly shout-out of faith, from the quirky to the sublime. We'll offer up mini profiles of pastors, faith testimonies, choir performances, wisdom gleaned from church signs and a joke or two. If you have suggestions for profiles or other column fodder, contact Faith and Values Reporter Kelly Jasper at kelly.jasper@ augustachronicle.com.

THE COMPANY OF JOB

WHAT: A 15-member performance troupe

THE SHOW: Dinner theater production, Job: A Postmodern Opera of Biblical Proportions

WHEN: 6:30 tonight

WHERE: Trinity on the Hill United Methodist Church, 1330 Monte Sano Ave.

COST: $15; (706) 651-0693

BACKGROUND: The troupe was formed four years ago by husband-and-wife team Don and Suzanne Harris, when Mr. Harris set out to write an opera based on the Old Testament's Book of Job. Mrs. Harris provided the music and it was choreographed by Peter Powlus.

WHAT TO EXPECT: The opera features classic hymns such as Our Redeemer Lives, played in rock-opera style with electric guitar, drums, oboe, trumpets and flutes.

FINAL WORDS: "The songs touch people differently, depending on who you are and where you are in life, but the Book of Job has something for everyone," Mr. Harris said.
