Whether we are listening to music with family, sharing stories with friends, or teaching a craft to children, creative expression has the power to bring people together. As people work together or give advice, they rely on each other and create respect for each other. Beyond that, seeing or hearing someone else’s creative expression allows us to know a part of who they are. Then we can value and enjoy them as fellow people. The McKinney Center has fostered a place where people can come together to practice all kinds of art, from sculpture to music and painting to stories. We are endlessly grateful for our members who have given their financial support to the mission of the McKinney Center. You have helped people learn and practice art in a way that helps connect them to each other. With our 2025 membership drive, we hope to grow the support that allows us to share the gift of art with more and more people in the region. We recognize the power of art to remind us of our shared humanity–all the things we have in common with the people around us. And we cannot wait to continue spreading that gift. Expanding our membership through this drive is an important endeavor as we continue to cultivate the arts in the region. Each new membership, and each renewal, is an investment in the McKinney Center’s future. Your support is vital as we strive to be a space in Historic Jonesborough that helps individuals express themselves creatively, provides room for constant learning, and brings people together.

Community Play at McKinney Center Community Play at McKinney Center March 1, 20262:00 pm - 4:00 pm McKinney Center at Booker T. Washington School, 103 Franklin Ave, Jonesborough, TN 37659, USA The McKinney Center will debut a new play in February that is 250 years in the making. The First and Last Town in Tennessee shares stories from Jonesborough’s past and present to commemorate America’s Semiquincentennial. Written by Program Manager Anne G’Fellers-Mason, the play takes the audience on a journey from 1779, the year of Jonesborough’s founding, to present day. “The title of the play is a combination of a nod to the Oldest Town in Tennessee as well as a report from 1801 that referred to Jonesborough as, ‘the last town in Tennessee,’” Mason explains. “For a moment, Jonesborough was the edge of the Western frontier. We have such rich history right here, and amazing stories, and we wanted to combine all that into this production. Where else do you get a chance to include stories about John Sevier and Andrew Jackson alongside Alfred Greenlee, Beverly Jenkins of Main Street Café & Catering, and Jimmy Neil Smith. All the major American events, the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, the Civil Rights Movement, and so on, each of these played out on the local level, and this play will capture that.” The show includes a large cast of multiple ages. Characters in the play include the Shanks Oak (Jonesborough’s Heritage Tree), Julia Bullard Nelson, Jimmy Rhein, Marat Moore, David Deaderick, Jesse Walton, Ella Russell, Elihu Embree, and so many more. The play will include music and dancing and will be an experience for the whole family. The play will serve as the kick-off to the 250th celebration in Jonesborough. The First and Last Town in Tennessee will run February 27th, 28th, and March 1st. There will also be a second weekend of shows on March 6th, 7th, and 8th.

Enjoy two nights of stories from Donald Davis with general admission each evening being $16. A special group rate for 15 or more people is available for $13 per person.

Davis was born in a Southern Appalachian Mountain world that was rich in stories. “I didn’t learn stories, I just absorbed them,” Davis says as he recounts tales learned from a family of traditional storytellers who lived on the same Western North Carolina land since 1781.

Davis’ resume boasts numerous experiences including Davidson College, Duke University Divinity School, a retired Methodist minister and former chairperson of the board of Directors for the National Storytelling Association. He is a favorite at the National Storytelling Festival and has also served as a featured teller at the Smithsonian Institute, the World’s Fair as well as festivals and concerts throughout the United States and the world.

For Donald Davis, storytelling is a way of giving and living life. He invites each listener to come along, pull deep inside for one’s own stories and personally share the common experiences that celebrate the creative spirit. For Donald Davis, storytelling “is not what I do for a living, but it is how I do all that I do while I am living.”

Vernon Dalhart: First Country Music Star Comes to The Jackson Theatre April 17

The Jackson Theatre will present Vernon Dalhart: First Country Music Star on Friday, April 17 at 7:00pm, in partnership with the International Storytelling Center. This special evening of words and music celebrates one of the most influential recording artists of the 1920s and 1930s.

Vernon Dalhart was the first artist to record a million-selling country hit with the two-sided 78 RPM disc featuring “The Wreck of the Old ’97” and “The Prisoner’s Song.” Both recordings are enshrined in the Grammy Hall of Fame, and Dalhart was later inducted into both the Country Music Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame. A prolific artist by any standard, he made more than 4,000 recordings between 1916 and 1939.

Despite his massive impact, Dalhart’s legacy has often been overlooked. Many legendary performers, including Dolly Parton, Marty Robbins, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Doc Watson, Bill Monroe, and Mac Wiseman, have covered songs first recorded by Dalhart, helping to carry his influence through generations of American music.

Drawing on five years of research, music historian Dr. Ted Olson will share the story of Dalhart’s diverse career and explore why his contributions have faded from the spotlight. Jack Hinshelwood, a multi-instrumentalist and singer, will provide the live soundtrack, performing faithful renditions of classics such as “Wreck of the Old ’97,” “The Prisoner’s Song,” “Home on the Range,” “Jesse James,” “The Big Rock Candy Mountains,” “My Blue Ridge Mountain Home,” and more songs that helped shape early country music.

This event is part of the Jackson Theatre’s ongoing collaboration with the International Storytelling Center, highlighting shared programming rooted in storytelling and music.

Tickets are $15 in advance and $20 day of show. Tickets and more information are available at thejacksontheatre.com.
