Appalachian Theatre resumes live programming in September Artists to include Roger McGuinn, John McEuen, Henry Cho and Malpass Brothers

T

he Appalachian Theatre of the High Country announced that it is reopening its doors to the general public on Sept. 3 for the first time since March 2020. This concludes an extended period of time during which ATHC produced 15 online broadcasts of seven films and eight “Live from the Appalachian Theatre” stage shows and private events. These events reached a virtual audience of thousands of dedicated supporters who sustained the venerable King Street landmark in downtown Boone during the global pandemic. The fall season of ATHC presented events includes five musical and comedy concerts by artists Roger McGuinn, Damn Tall Buildings, John McEuen and the String Wizards in an encore “Grand Opening 2.0” performance, Henry Cho and the Malpass Brothers. Tickets for these events will go on sale to ATHC members at 10 a.m. on Friday, Aug. 6, and to the general public the following week at 10 a.m. on Thursday, Aug. 12.

the theatre’s website at www.apptheatre.org. App Theatre Executive Director Laura Kratt expressed gratitude to the sponsors, donors, patrons, trustees and other volunteers whose unwavering support over the past 16 months has enabled the ATHC to continue as a viable asset to the High Country region. “We were only open for a brief amount of time — less than five months — before closing for a period three times that long. We’ve been planning our ‘Grand Opening 2.0’ for quite some

time, and are thrilled to announce those details to an audience eager to experience live performing arts,” Kratt said. At 7:30 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 3, Roger McGuinn takes to the ATHC stage. As the founder of The Byrds, McGuinn is firmly established as an indisputable industry icon. From his signature 12-string Rickenbacker sound, to his instantly recognizable vocals on hits like “Turn, Turn, Turn” and “Mr. Tambourine Man,” Roger McGuinn didn’t just make music; he made history.

said, “Music would be a very different place if it hadn’t been for Roger McGuinn.” Tickets are $35 per person. Damn Tall Buildings will make their Appalachian Theatre debut at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 1. In their early days, Damn Tall Buildings

didn’t rehearse — they busked. Now, whether sharing lead vocals and instrumental solos or blending their voices into loose, joyous harmony, the four members of Damn Tall Buildings blend elements of bluegrass, blues, rootsrock and vintage swing

to create a captivating, high-energy sound. The Boston Globe called them, “The Carter Family for the millennial generation” Tickets are $25. The first artists to grace the stage of the ATHC SEE THEATRE ON PAGE 119
