Preparing For Battle: Tech
Begins For “Liberty Mountain”
By Caleb Ryan Sigmon
T he
drum
beat be-
gins. With
the help
of some
clever GCalebSigmon
scenery,
the Joy Performance Center
is, once again, being trans-
formed into a tree-covered
mountaintop. The muskets
are being assigned. Costumes
are being brought out of stor-
age. Props are being mended
and repaired from last fall’s
tremendous opening season.
“Liberty Mountain” is back!
Bringing the story of the
Battle of Kings Mountain to
life is an immense task, and
must be handled with great re-
sponsibility. While maintain-
ing the historic facts of how
these brave heroes fought for
our freedom, we are bring-
ing an epic drama to life that
will keep audiences on the
edge of their seats. You can
expect to see live gunfire,
blood, romance and a thrill-
ing storyline about the people
that truly “turned the tide”
of the American Revolution.
You’ve never seen history
brought-to-life like this.
The drama is written
by Robert Inman, former
newscaster on Charlotte’s
WBTV and author of nu-
merous books, movies and
plays. Like much of Inman’s
work, “Liberty Mountain”
bolts from location to loca-
tion including the Carolina
backcountry, The Continental
Congress, Indian Territory,
The King’s Chambers and
many other vital settings.
Most importantly, the heroic
play transports you to the top
of Kings Mountain for the
climactic battle that our story
centers around. Using lots of
dramatic lighting and special
effects, a full team of creative
artists make these transitions
happen seamlessly without
any drawn-out scene changes.
“Long scenic shifts are pain-
ful to watch.” says Katy
Biser, a key player in the dra-
ma’s production staff, “Leav-
ing the audience sitting in the
dark while technical hands
scramble
around
onstage
really de-
tracts from
the story.
We want
spectators
to stay
involved
with what
is happen-
ing... en-

surrounding them.”

duction. The show runs at the
Joy Performance Center late-
