From This Day Forward

So, I know it's been a while since I last posted, but what can you do...

Well, my next project is From This Day Forward. It's a historical outdoor drama in Valdese, NC. I'm actually playing the role of Anna!

The story is about the Waldenses that came from the France/Italy area to settle in North Carolina. The play opens in the Cottian Alps with the Waldenses being threatened by the rulers that they could not worship God in the way they were. If they did, they would be killed. Later, they decided to go to America for freedom from their oppressors. The second Act focuses on the families once they are in Valdese and how they cope with their new ways of life.

From This Day Forward was written by a Valdese native named Fred Cranford and is produced by the Old Colony Players at the Old Colony Players Ampitheatre. This will be the 43rd year of this show's run, although many adaptations of the original have been produced.

The season runs every Friday and Saturday from July 9th until August 13th. Since it is an outdoor show, there may be cancellations due to rain or otherwise weather-related circumstances.
