A FUN part of
the Peanut Festival is our annual Folk Play; this year’s performances will
be September 22nd and September 23rd at
7:30 p.m. at the Plains High
School Museum auditorium.
Each year Kim
Carter Fuller, daughter of Sybil and Billy Carter, writes our Folk Play.
Kim is a teacher with the talent to write and a great imagination, but
when you live in Plains who really needs one. Telling the tales of living
in a small rural town with a former President and our visitors, many who
are famous, gives Kim more than enough to write about.
This year will
be the directing debut of Kim’s daughter, Mandi Fuller. She is studying
drama and we look forward to seeing what she does with our local talent.
Of course, the same is true of our talent, who really needs directing? We
have some great folks in Plains who put their heart and soul in the play
each year. Their hours of practice will leave you rolling in the aisle.
Every year
Brother Dan writes original music for the play. The last time I checked
he told me he was almost finished with the music. How about those lyrics
Dan? Well I’m sure he will be ready in time for the Play!
During
intermission we even serve bottled Coca Colas and peanuts. Now that’s a
true southern folk play! Make your plans to attend, you won’t be
disappointed.
