Robert Jenkins (as Dillard Nations), left, and Eleanor Wixsen (Annie Nations) act out a scene
in “Foxfire”.
FOXFIRE: final two shows this weekend at Joy
FROM Page 1
- based on the "Foxfire" books - to life. The
‘play continues for two final showings at the
Joy Performance Center, 202 S. Railroad
Ave., Friday, Aug. 10, and Saturday, Aug. 11,
at 7 p.m. Tickets are $10 for adults and $8
for students and senior citizens. .
A crowd of theatre-goers filled part of the
house ‘at Sunday's matinee, ready to travel
back to a place and time of Appalachian liv-
ing.
Eleanor Wixson stars as the incorrigible
"Annie Nations", who, although stubborn,
must ultimately choose between family and
home. The ghost of her husband, "Hector
Nations", played by the talented Minister of
Music Steve Austin, makes her choice even
harder. ;
Both newcomers to the Kings Mountain
Little Theatre stage, Wixson and Austin de-
lighted the audience with witty sayings and
Appalachian folklore in scenes of an era
threatened by progress and development.
Austin's deep, smooth voice filled the
house with emotion as he crooned to his
child-bearing wife. (He has served as a min-
ister of music at local churches for more than
40 years.)
Robert Jenkins also held the audience
captive as he sang and strummed his guitar,
playing the role of "Dillard Nations", the Na-
tions' son.
This is not Jenkins" first time on the
KMLT stage as shown in his presence and
poise in the play. He has appeared in more
than 75 area theater productions and last
stole the heart of Kings Mountain Little The-
atre-goers in the lead role of "The Nerd" in
2009.
In her first adult show role at KMLT,
Brenna Burgess plays the "sweet little girl
next door", "Holly Burrell". She has acted in
several children's shows, including "Char-
lotte's Web" and "Snow White" at the Joy.
Caroline Dedmon tickled the audience in
.
‘
her role as the city-slick-salesman and real
estate developer "Sarah Carpenter". Arriving
at the family farm in heels, a skirt and a
blouse, which is soon soiled when Annie
asks her to help her cut the eyes out of a pig's
head, Dedmon winced as the gudience
laughed.
David Baez as the "doctor" drew a few
more laughs as he showed up to deliver
Annie's baby on the front porch of the Na-
tions' log cabin home, reminding Hector that
he didn't need anything to treat the baby for
Hives once it was born.
This is Baez' second performance on
stage with the KMLT, after having recently
starred in the role as "Dr. Einstein" in "Ar-
senic and Old Lace".
« Playing in "The Stoney Lonesome Band",
Pete Sutton on guitar, Aaron Clark on banjo,
Junior Costner on base guitar and Jimmy
Ferrill on mandolin had many feet tapping in
the audience.
The stunning set was built by Jim Cham-
pion, Chuck Champion, Dan Dixon, Greg
Dixon, Jeff Grigg, Libby Hawkins, Nancy
Matherly, Dr. John Still, Clenon Tackett and
Jeff Walega.
The show is produced by special arrange-
ment with Samuel French, Inc.
"It has been a pleasure working with this
theatre company at the Joy on my last and fa-
vorite show...Foxfire," says KMLT veteran
and "Foxfire" Director Stan Logan. "I have
been directing almost 30 years, since 1983,
and it is now time to move on to other proj-
ects. I could not have asked for a better cast
and crew and working at this theatre with this
dedicated crannizaion has always been a
joy. n
~~ Working behind He scenes, Danah McK-
inney serves as stage manager for the show;
Cory Lomax is in charge of lighting and
sound; and, Linda Nichols has been in charge
of costumes.
