PAST PRODUCTIONS
MAC AND THE MUSICAL CATS PAST PERFORMANCE 2019
Postmark LaFollette partnered with GiGi’s Dance Studio to bring a short story to life about a young boy who visits LaFollette during WWII and stayed at the Russell Hotel. While peering out the window he saw a line of cats coming down the ally, some with instruments on their back. They end up in the old post office. His curiosity gets the best of him and he follows the cats, that no one else seems to see. The story tells of how the musical cats inspired him throughout his life. An illustrated book, in poem form of “Mac and the Musical Cats” was made available as part of the performance.
What is Postmark Theater?
Postmark Theater creates live theater for our community, by our community, and about our community.
Our first play, Letter Box, Please Forward was based during the period of 1930's through WWII. The creative use of actual letters that came through the former LaFollette Post Office as well as stories that have been told over time were reproduced on several stages throughout the old sorting room and the ghost of Irene Miller, the first post mistress of the then new building guided us through these events, some heartwarming and others sad stories of the era.
Our second play, Mountain Voices was an adaptation of several books written by local authors about their lives and times of either growing up in Campbell County, or their family histories. Like Letter Box, the play was presented in a vignette setting as the players moved from one author's writing to the next. As they moved from story to story, the actors left a bit of their costume on the stage, at the end of the play all of the pieces of costumes were picked up and deposited in a trunk from which a beautiful quilt appears on stage showing that all of these stories, and their characters, were intertwined by the fabric of their lives and blended together in a beautiful quilt.
Our third play, written by Tony Branam was a full length play called Where I Belong, a hilarious comedy portraying how one woman's desire to have her granddaughter return home, where she belonged, was achieved. Naturally she meets up with all the helpful folks who were there to make her life easier while her husband was more than excited to come and live in the peaceful quiet of the country.
Our fourth play, written also by Tony Branam, was Northbound. This is a creative comedic endeavor set in a time where things were rough for the entire country, especially in the Depression-era South. This play was written to coincide with Postmark LaFollette receiving the Smithsonian Exhibit called Crossroads: Changes In Rural America. Encompassing the many changes of the Depression-era South which led so many to move North finding work in manufacturing plants as coal mines and farming declined. The play took on the lighter side of a family moving North and how the events which unfolded during their travels to Ohio on a Scenic Cruiser Bus.
Northbound was brought to our community by a grant from the Tennessee Arts Commisison's Rural Arts Project grant as well as funding support from Senator Ken Yager. With fine supporters Community Trust Bank, Indian River Marina, United Cumberland Bank, and Terry's Pharmacy.
