The Sound Behind the Legend: Magnolia Fire Returns
🎻 We're thrilled to welcome Magnolia Fire back for their third season with Tom Dooley: A Wilkes County Legend! Their rich tones and beautiful melodies set the stage with a 30-minute concert before the show and continue to bring the story to life throughout the performance. Their music adds depth, emotion, and a truly unforgettable layer to the experience.
This summer, the infamous tale of the murder of Laura Foster and the subsequent hanging of Tom Dooley, a gripping saga of love and betrayal, returns to the stage at Benton Hall in North Wilkesboro, NC where it all began in 2001.The play premiered to sold out audiences that year and then became an annual production in Wilkes county, NC where the tale took place after the Civil War. After seven years, the play was produced by Bleu Moon Productions and traveled to various venues including Fort Hamby Park on Kerr Scott Lake in Wilkes county and The Ashe Civic Center. READ MORE….
