"A Country Courtship"

Back by popular demand, Once Upon a Blue Ridge will present "A Country Courtship" at King Moravian Church, 234 West Dalton Road in King, NC on Saturday, February 13th. A short musical play, by Peter Holland. Holland and his wife, Christina, act in the show along with Paul Hodges, an actor and writer from Mount Airy, NC. Set somewhere in the Blue Ridge Mountains during the Great Depression, the plot of A Country Courtship concerns a middle-aged hypochondriac who courts the independent daughter of a mountain moonshiner. When they start to argue about the ownership of land and who has the best bird dog, tempers flare and humor conquers romance. A Country Courtship has been enjoyed by family audiences throughout the region. Its toe-tapping songs and belly laughs will warm the cockles of your heart on a cold winters night. Dessert and beverage will be served starting at 6:00 p.m., with performance to follow at 7:00 p.m. For information or to reserve tickets, please contact the Stokes County Arts Council at 336-593-8159.
