SUMMARY:With These Hands: A History Based Play
DESCRIPTION:Bringing The Past To Life In Meaningful Ways\nAugust 3 through 4 \nThe Heritage Alliance and The McKinney Center at Booker T. Washington School are joining\ntogether to produce the original\, history-based play\, With These Hands as a joint fundraiser for\nthe two organizations. \nThis full length “dramadey” is filled with stories from Jonesborough’s own history\, “Stories that\nground us\, make us think and that show us just how closely our future aligns with our past.”\nsays playwright Anne G’Fellers-Mason. \nThis production\, written by G’Fellers-Mason and directed by Jules Corriere\, highlights significant\nmoments in the history of Jonesborough and Washington County. It also features some of\nJonesborough’s best-known residents\, including town historians Paul Fink and Miriam Fink-\nDulaney\, Angelina Mason and Charlotte Dilworth\, and many others\, some whose legacy is\nfound in street names and buildings\, and others\, in the work they built with their own hands\nthat still stand today- the railroad\, the courthouse\, the steps leading to the Old Mill Spring.\nThese are the stories of real people and real families through history\, meeting at crisis points\,\nand finding ways past them. “Their struggles in the past inform us of how we can move forward\nwhen we face these same kinds of obstacles. History is cyclical\, but we can learn from it.\nAnne’s play is very timely. There are lessons inside. The Masons and the Dilworths bridged gaps\nover great divides\, it was difficult\, but they found a way\, and we can aspire to their example.”\nSays Corriere. \nThe play may hold answers\, but it asks even more questions- something that a good work of art\nalways does. Can two families keep their friendship intact even though they find themselves on\nopposing sides of the Civil War? Can a former Southern Belle allow herself to accept help from a\nFreedman after emancipation? And the burning question- What is historic spit and what does it\nhave to do with the Washington County Courthouse? These scenes and more will be brought to\nlife on stage for one weekend only\, in a multi-media production which will infuse historic\narchival photos\, connecting the past to the present. \nImportantly\, the proceeds from this production will benefit two important organizations in the\nTown of Jonesborough. The Heritage Alliance of Northeast Tennessee and Southwest Virginia is\ndedicated to the preservation of the architectural\, historical\, and cultural heritage of our region\nand to providing educational experiences related to history and heritage for a wide range of\naudiences. The McKinney Center at Booker T. Washington School is dedicated to building\ncommunity and enriching relationships through excellent arts education\, cultural\ninterpretation\, and historic preservation. Tickets for this production\, which are only $20\, will\nserve each organization’s educational programs. \nPerformances of With These Hands will take place at 7:30 p.m. on August 3 and 4. There will be\na 2 p.m. matinee performance on August 4th. This unique fundraiser is a great way to support\nhistory\, preservation\, and the arts in Jonesborough. Funds from the production will enhance the\neducational programs of both organizations. With These Hands is just one example of the\nprogramming the Heritage Alliance and the McKinney Center have to offer.\nTo purchase tickets\, please call the Jonesborough Visitor’s Center at 423.753.1010 or online at\njonesborough.com/tickets. Tickets may be sold at the door\, depending upon availability\, but it\nis highly advised to purchase tickets in advance\, as seating is limited.
