FREE ADMISSION
Performance
On November 17, 2007 at 5pm, at the Sylva Community Center, 538 Scotts
Creek Road, CSA will present “Passing It On.” This is a performance
with stories, songs, and spontaneous art in a fast-paced production,
where I tell the story, inserting the prose and poetry of local
writers and singers, with Doreyl illustrating the story as it evolves.
Immediately following, there will be special entertainment featuring
“The Muses,” a 3-woman a cappella group singing an ingenious mix of
Celtic, Americana, traditional Appalachian, and World music. Their
repertoire covers a wide range and includes original compositions,
spirituals, soul numbers, and songs from Scotland and Ireland.
The presentation begins with Amy's writing students reading from their
works within a fast paced story composed by Amy to include the
writings of her students...then "The Muses"...then the art exhibition
from Doreyl's art students...then the reception with refreshments!
An art exhibit of local talent will fill the lobby of the Center,
and for holiday giving, the sale of art, books, cards, & photography
will be available also in the lobby. Refreshments will be served. The
program is sponsored by the Board of Directors for Catch the Spirit of
Appalachia. For more information, call 828-631-4587.
