Local Readers Needed for Reader's Theatre: WAKULLASTORY: A Hankerin' for Headhuntin'
Written by Herb Donaldson, Palaver Tree Theater Company Wednesday, 08 February 2012 08:25
Based on Elizabeth Fisher Smith's "Magnolia Monthly Magazine" and adopted for stage by Herb Donaldson.
Palaver Tree Theatre and the Wakulla County Historical Society need your participation!
Visit the world of Elizabeth Fisher Smith and her magazine of and about Wakulla County: The Magnolia Monthly. Smith's collection of Wakulla stories, family histories, local politics, education, hog slaughtering, bee-keeping, "real" court room dramas, county commissioner meetings - and so much more - became household discussion.
"A Hankerin' for Headhuntin", is derived from an essay Smith wrote about her research of the graveyards in Wakulla. "Headhunting" is the search for tombstones, and the stories they hold.

LOCATION: The historical old Sopchoppy High School Auditorium
NEEDED: Readers of all ages and races and musicians
FIRST READ-THRU OF SCRIPT: This coming Saturday, February 11 at 3pm
