Stories of trail blazing women who pushed back against the
“glass ceiling” will grace the McKinney Center stage on March 24th in a
StoryTown Radio Show episode called “Breaking Through: Stories of Tough Times
and Even Tougher Women.” Featured in this live production will be stories about
local teachers, women who fought to make change in government, tales about
mothers, corporate careers, and much more. We’ll also have a special guest from
the League of Women Voters.
The music guest for this production is the local band
Heartstrings. This new band, featuring Scott Wild, Ashley Mumpower, Deborah
Byrd, and Mark Calliham, blends American folk, pop, and jazz together in a
beautiful harmony. The production takes place at 7PM on March 24th
at the McKinney Center. Tickets are $10 and available online at
Jonesborough.com/tickets or by calling the Historic Jonesborough Visitors
Center at 423-753-1010. The January and February shows sold out, so make sure
you get your tickets today.
The Radio Show is also recorded for broadcast on local NPR
station WETS 89.5 out of Johnson City, which can be heard the last Wednesday of
the month at 8PM. StoryTown is sponsored by Allandale Mansion with the City of
Kingsport, the Tennessee Arts Commission, Gary and Sandee Degner, Terry and
Sandy Countermine, Trivia with Budds, McLeod Organics, the Wild Women of
Jonesborough, and Wolfe Development.
