We Did It Together Community Play at the McKinney Center (Ages 50+) Saturday, June 11 Leave MPCC at 1:15p, return approx. 4:30p Cost: $15 Set in the mid-twentieth century in Jonesborough, Tennessee, We Did It Together weaves compelling true-life stories in a new original play with show-stopping music and dance. The play focuses on ordinary people of this small community who accomplish remarkable feats as they are caught in extraordinary times. Teenage girls called to serve in the Cadet Nurse Corps during WWII; a doctor and his family in Cuba forced to flee as Castro’s rebel’s take over, leading them to find freedom in Northeast Tennessee; the election of Ernest McKinney, the first African American Alderman to serve in Jonesborough; a historic home filled with otherworldly guests, and the famous Rambo cattle drive on Greenwood Drive and Spring Street. We Did It Together explores the ways that the families and neighborhoods in this small Appalachian community have come together to accomplish great things. This play is the fourth in a series of original community plays at the McKinney Center written by playwright Jules Corriere, who this month won and placed in eight international film festivals, including taking first place at the Hollywood Just 4 Shorts Screenplay Competition and is a finalist in the Los Angeles International Screenplay Awards. Her winning screenplay mirrors the style of We Did It Together, which celebrates the extraordinary lives of ordinary people. Source: McKinneyCenter. com Please Pre-register. Tennessee Riverboat Co.
