StoryTown Radio Show continues to celebrate 15 years on the air with “Stories from the Classroom: Teachers’ Editon” on Monday, August 24 at 7:00 pm at the McKinney Center.

StoryTown performs in the format of a live, old-time radio show complete with sound effects, musical underscoring, live skits, and a great musical guest. This month’s show is all about the highs and lows, joys and tribulations of being a classroom teacher. We’ll have stories from public, private, and homeschool educators. Joining the cast this month is GRAMMY nominated singer-songwriter Amythyst Kiah. Amythyst performed on the Radio Show when we were just starting out, and so was she. Her latest album Still + Bright was released in 2024. StoryTown is excited to welcome her back to the Radio Show as a part of our 15th anniversary celebration.

Tickets are $10 and available online at Jonesborough.com/tickets or by calling the Historic Jonesborough Visitors Center at 423-753-1010.

The Radio Show is 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 the Tennessee Arts Commission, Gary and Sandee Degner, Terry and Sandy Countermine, Herman and Beverly Jenkins, Doug and Denise Gross, Ed and Frankie Wolff, the Wild Women of Jonesborough, and Wolfe Development.
