While you're making your summer travel plans, note that there are two wonderful community performances scheduled in the Southeast -- both musicals in Georgia. "The Last Hard Times," Franklin's County's new folk-life play, is written by Jules Corriere and directed by Richard Geer of Community Performance Inc. The artists have been blogging eloquently on CAN about this production, set for June 5-28, 2008, in a brand-new theater in Lavonia. Based on community stories, the play features 60-100 local folks on stage. See Guest Blog on CAN's front page. And "Headwaters :: Stories From A Goodly Portion Of Beautiful Northeast Georgia" runs July 10-27 in Sautee Nagoochee. Written by Jo Carson and Jerry Grillo from stories collected in seven northeast Georgia counties, it's choreographed by Celeste Miller and directed by Lisa Mount (see video on Mount's blog). [LINK]
