News & More | We have been reading lots of scripts and have had some conversations with playwrights. Through the direct intervention of Alan Bailey, the author, we have the rights to produce the NEW Smoke on the Mountain Homecoming. You’ll see it and four other productions designed to enlighten and entertain. While there are several important details yet to be decided about the season, we wanted to bring you this progress report. If you want to get season tickets or individual tickets for Christmas gifts, Melisa will get a voucher out to you. We are booking Jack Tale shows throughout May and into the summer. If your group would like to have a toe-tapping, fast-paced performance of our Appalachian heritage in your auditorium, classroom, or office, please email Jody directly (jbrown@ferrum.edu ). Now is also the time to contact Jody to arrange private performances for your group of 100 or more. | ||||||||||||
