StoryTown Radio Show: Women’s History Month
March 27 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
StoryTown Radio Show will celebrate Women’s History Month in their next production on Monday, March 27 at 7 p.m. at the McKinney Center, located at 103 Franklin Avenue.
The music guest will be Momma Molasses whose music interlaces Classic Country, Folk, Piedmont Blues, Soul, Swing, Bluegrass and Old-Time.
Featured in this live production will be a harrowing true tale from World War II of a beloved aunt being trapped inside of a Sherman Tank; an inspirational story of an educator with a PhD who returns to school in her fifties to become a lawyer who later work on behalf of senior citizens; a root doctor who uses knowledge passed down through generations to forage locally growing plants for healing.
Tickets are $10 and available online at Jonesborough.com/tickets or by calling the Jonesborough Visitors Center at 423.753.1010. This 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 8 p.m.
