"SIGNS AND WONDERS" and "THE BRIGHT FOREVER" OPEN IN HIGHLANDS ON OCTOBER 1,2,3.


Kind Hearts, please click on the poster and he photo of the people who are doing my play. The lady on the left is Carla Gates and she is doing the role of Shelby Jean, a somewhat lusty Georgia girl who becomes involved with a young minister during a revival. The lady standing in the photo is Robbie Spilton, the director. The lady on the right is Shirley Williams who has the role of Fanny Crosby, the blind hymn writer in "The Bright Forever." The chubby old guy isn't in either of the plays but he insisted on having his picture taken. According to local sources in Sylva, he is a harmless eccentric who spends a lot of time on his front porch shaking his fist at the workers who are paving the road in front of his house. Please call 838-526-9047. The Highlands Performing Arts Center also has a website.

  2. Wish I was going to be here but I'll be walking my daughter down the aisle that weekend out in Nags Head. Hope someone records it.

  4. Having read "Signs and Wonders" in mss I have to say, this is a must-see play. I hope I can make
    it up the mountain to see it performed. Also,
    I saw "The Bright Forever" done one night in
    Franklin and enjoyed it very much. Having both
    plays on the same night is special. The folks in
    Highlands are to be commended.

  5. Poster looks GREAT!

    Whose that guy talking to the chickens in the hen house?

    Signs and Wonders..had the good fortune to read the play a few months ago. I see it in my mind's eye on stage already. The look of Shelby Jean's character is on your actor's face. Good Choice!

  8. That's a terrific poster, Gary. I know the folks who attend the plays are going to enjoy your story-telling as much as the chickens obviously did. Lucky chickns. Lucky Highlandsians. Sorry I can't be there.

  9. There you are! No, I guess a weekend drive from Virginia Beach is a bit of a reach. You would have liked Shelby Jean.
