Granby Memorial High School Performing Arts will present an original work, Daughters of the Appalachians, on Nov. 11, 12 and 13.
The show, written by Linda Goodman, is a collection of stories based on her childhood. Goodman, a Virginia Appalachian Mountain native of Melungeon descent, learned the art of storytelling from her father, a former coal miner and master yarn spinner. Her works are known for their Southern Appalachian flavor, and stories from her award-winning CDs, Jessie and Other Stories and Bobby Pins, have been aired on several NPR programs.
GMHS Performing Arts is excited about this upcoming production and is honored to perform an original work by a former Connecticut resident. Performances will be Friday, Nov. 11 and Saturday, Nov. 12 at 7 p.m. and Sunday, Nov. 13 at 2 p.m.
