Welcome to opening night of the Cornley University Drama Society’s newest production, The Murder at Haversham Manor, where things are quickly going from bad to utterly disastrous. This 1920s whodunit has everything you never wanted in a show—an unconscious leading lady, a corpse that can’t play dead, and actors who trip over everything (including their lines). Nevertheless, the accident-prone thespians battle against all odds to make it through to their final curtain call, with hilarious consequences! Part Monty Python, part Sherlock Holmes, this Olivier Award–winning comedy is a global phenomenon that’s guaranteed to leave you aching with laughter! (Dramatists Play Service, Inc.)

StoryTown Radio Show "Gardens and Games" April 22, 20247:00 pm - 8:00 pm
McKinney Center at Booker T. Washington School, 103 Franklin Ave, Jonesborough, TN 37659, USA
This April 22nd at 7PM, StoryTown is back with a fun & energetic show about some of our favorite hobbies, gardening and gaming. StoryTown performs in the format of a live, old-time radio show complete with sound effects, musical underscoring, live skits, and a great musical guest. This month’s show is all about the lessons we learn and the skills we develop through gardening and gaming. We have stories and advice from the local Garden Club, tales of victory and defeat from the Esports team at ETSU, and a look into what it’s like to work in a giant arcade from our friends and episode sponsors at Tiebreakers. We’ll also have part two of the harrowing story of a woman’s quest to save her husband during the Civil War. Will they make it home? Is there a garden or games in their future? Get your tickets and find out. Joining the cast this month will be Portail du Son, a new artist for the StoryTown Radio Show. Under the direction of Stacia Howard, these musicians from the Superior Saxophone Studio put a whole new spin on chamber music. We’ll also have cornhole and other games on hand for folks to enjoy before the show starts. The performance takes place on April 22nd at the McKinney Center at 7:00 pm. Shows last approximately an hour. Tickets are $10 and available online at Jonesborough.com/tickets or by calling the Historic Visitors Center at 423-753-1010. The Radio Show is also recorded for broadcast on local NPR station WETS 89.5 out of Johnson City, which can be heard the last Wednesday of the month at 8PM. StoryTown is sponsored by Tiebreakers, the Tennessee Arts Commission, Gary and Sandee Degner, Trivia with Budds, the Silver Raven, Mountain Empire Cremation and Burial Services, and the Wild Women of Jonesborough.

Michael Reno Harrell is an award-winning songwriter, veteran storyteller, and entertainer from the Southern Appalachian Mountains, where storytelling is as much a part of the culture as is music.

A consummate entertainer, Harrell’s original stories and songs are based on experience – sometimes very funny, sometimes a bit scary, often heartwarming, and always entertaining.
In a perfect world, every town would have a storyteller, a keeper of the trunk of memories reminding us of who we are and where we came from. Michael Reno Harrell is that keeper. – Western North Carolina Magazine

Theresa Hammons is the Director of the McKinney Center and has dedicated herself to the Town of Jonesborough for over ten years. Theresa oversees both the large-scale activities and the day-to-day events that happen at the McKinney Center. Since January, Theresa has put hours of work into the 2024 Masterpiece Mingle. Theresa wrote the press release, has put out several calls for donations of artwork, and has put effort into making sure the event is well promoted. She has been spending time emailing over 100 artists individually to get people to donate to the event. She then kept in touch with the artists to make sure we secured the artwork. Theresa spent hours looking to make sure we had the perfect musician fit for the event and found the Tri-Cities Jazz Orchestra. For the last Masterpiece Mingle, we had high schoolers cater. Unfortunately, this year they are traveling to participate in a competition. So, Theresa has spent hours trying to secure a caterer at a reasonable price for this event. Masterpiece Mingle is our biggest fundraiser of the year.Theresa worked so hard on this event to make sure it is a success because she cares about the success of the center.
