The songs and the action covers not just the battles of the war but the entire lives of the people.  The focus is on what the war meant to the people.  There is no attempt to draw any conclusions or make any political statements.        There will be four performances:  November 14, 15, 21, and 22, each of these nights beginning at 8 PM.  Tickets will be $15 for general admission, and $12 for students, senior citizens, and military personnel. Tickets can be purchased online via a link on the Twilight website, www.TheTwilightTheatre.com or at Scott's Bookstore on the Courthouse Square in downtown Newnan.            The Civil War is a dramatic musical event about the lives of people who lived during the single most defining period in American history, and for whom the war brought pride, sorrow, faith, freedom, despair, and death. It feeds upon the emotions in all of us and brings the true tragedy of war home.  The play is a moving song-cycle which weaves an emotional tapestry from our nation's history. The show draws on letters and speeches, and uses projections including actual photographs from the war. It is staged as a musical oratorio, leaving a traditional book behind. All of this brings the music and the subject material into sharp focus.
