Synopsis

Dawn grew up in a town very much like Mayberry. Her Grandpa was a county official who worked at the courthouse. There was a town drunk, a Barney, and a town doctor who made his own medicines. When Doc Threadgill wasn’t available, he would defer to an older native, a granny woman. Granny women were healers/midwives/seers found in rural Appalachia and the Ozarks. As a little girl, Dawn knew one. She finds these women fascinating.

We all know, or we should, that women’s stories have often been excluded from history. Women, especially older women, are treated as if we are invisible. Well…Dawn, who is entering into her crone years, thinks we have something to say….She does anyway and this show celebrates granny women, bringing them out of the holler and into the light! Featuring original and historic, music, spoken word, comedy, and images, let this show help heal what ails you!
