Here is another great homeschool field trip...It is a production put on
by a cast of almost eighty homeschool students and graduates called
MIRACLE IN THE HILLS. It is written and directed by Mary Evelyn (Mev)
McCurdy and performed by the Homeschool Drama Society at the Cookville
Performing Arts Center. This is the true story of a husband and wife
doctor team who settle in the Appalachain Mountains of North Carolina in
1911. It is based on the book by Dr. Mary T. Sloop (with LeGette
Blythe) about the mircles God had in store for her and her doctor
husband in Crossnore, North Carolina.
The performance times are Thursday, September 27th at 7:00 p.m., and
Friday, September 28th at 10:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. The evening tickets
are $5 for adults, $3 for children, and $15 for a family. The morning
tickets are all $3. The tickets are available at the door or by calling
the Cookeville Performing Arts Center at (931) 528-1313. CPAC is
located at 10 East Broad Street, Cookevile, TN 38501. They have a
website www.cookeville-tn.org/cpac. You can also visit
www.ChristianMusicalTheatre.com for more information on HDS.
This a fun-filled musical play with humor, drama, live musical
instruments, traditional American folk songs, square dancing, hymns,
& ballads as well as original songs written for the play by Mev
McCurdy. Your whole family or homeschool group will find it very
enjoyable.
By the way, for those of you who are familiar with the Notgrass
Publishing Company located here in Cookeville, Mary Evelyn is the
daughter of Ray and Charlotte Notgress.
Should you choose to attend the 10 a.m. showing on Friday and the
weather is nice, you may want to enjoy a picnic lunch at nearby Dog Wood
Park following the preformance. It is located just a couple of blocks
from CPAC. It is a nice little park with picnic tables, sidewalks for
bikes or riding toys, and a fountain/water play area.
If anyone has any questions about parking, area resturants, parks, or
planning your trip to Cookeville, I will be glad to try to help you out.
Feel free to email Catrina Howell at bobcattn@frontier.com. I hope that you have the chance to attend this wonderful presentation!
