Stories of trail blazing women who pushed back against the “glass ceiling” will grace the McKinney Center stage on March 25th in a StoryTown Radio Show episode called “Breaking Through: Stories of Tough Times and Even Tougher Women.” Featured in this live production will be stories about local teachers, women who fought to make change in government, tales about mothers, corporate careers, and much more. We’ll also have a special guest from the League of Women Voters.

The music guest for this production is the local band Heartstrings. This new band, featuring Scott Wild, Ashley Mumpower, Deborah Byrd, and Mark Calliham, blends American folk, pop, and jazz together in a beautiful harmony. The production takes place at 7PM on March 24th at the McKinney Center. Tickets are $10 and available online at Jonesborough.com/tickets or by calling the Historic Jonesborough Visitors Center at 423-753-1010. The January and February shows sold out, so make sure you get your tickets today.

The Radio Show is also recorded for broadcast on local NPR station WETS 89.5 out of Johnson City, which can be heard the last Wednesday of the month at 8PM. StoryTown is sponsored by Allandale Mansion with the City of Kingsport, the Tennessee Arts Commission, Gary and Sandee Degner, Terry and Sandy Countermine, Trivia with Budds, McLeod Organics, the Wild Women of Jonesborough, and Wolfe Development.
