The final collaboration between Rodgers & Hammerstein was destined to become the world's most beloved musical.

"Nancy" at Historic Embree Farm
June 19, 2021142 Matthews Mill Rd, Telford, TN 37690, USA
In 1820, Elihu Embree published hisnewspaper The Emancipator on MainStreet, Jonesborough. The seven edition paper is the first publication dedicatedsolely to the cause of abolitionism. Embree passed away in December of 1820,and the paper died with him. Even though it was short-lived, The Emancipator had over 2,000subscribers and its reach went all the way to Boston and Philadelphia. In spiteof his abolitionist beliefs, Embree himself was an enslaver. Nancy was anenslaved woman owned by Elihu Embree, and her story will be told on Saturday,June 19th in an original play entitled “Nancy” at the Embree HouseHistoric Farm in Telford.
Written by Anne G’Fellers-Mason,Executive Director of the Heritage Alliance, “Nancy” will follow a year in thewoman’s life, from January 1820 when Elihu Embree wrote his will to January1821 when his will was read before the Washington County court. In his will,Embree tried to free Nancy and her five children, but were his wishes carriedout? What was Nancy feeling and thinking during this time? The play is based onprimary research relying heavily on documents from the Washington CountyArchives. The role of Nancy will be performed by local actress Ubunibi-Afia Short.“I’ve wanted to tell Nancy’s story for a long time,” says Mason, “and it’s anhonor to have such an amazing actress to help tell it. I believe Nancy’s storyshows just how complicated the system of enslavement was in the United Statesand how unjust it was. We know Embree’s story so well. It’s past time we knowNancy’s.”
Three performances will be held onJune 19th with showings at 1:00 pm, 3:30 pm, and 6:30 pm. The showwill take place at the historic Embree House in Telford and will last about anhour. A Q&A session and a chance to tour parts of the Embree House willfollow each performance. Tickets are $12.00 and proceeds from ticket sales willhelp fund the educational programs of the Heritage Alliance. You can purchasetickets through Jonesborough’s online system at jonesborough.com/tickets or by calling the Visitor’s Center at 423-753-1010. Seating islimited, so make sure you purchase your tickets in advance.
June 19this recognized as Juneteenth, or Emancipation Day, a celebration of the day thatword of emancipation finally reached agroup of enslaved people in Galveston, Texas. The Heritage Alliance hopesyou will join us as a part of your celebration that day as we remember Nancyand tell her story.

Conversations That Matter June 2021
June 24, 2021 7:00 pm - 8:00 pmMcKinney Center at Booker T. Washington School, 103 Franklin Ave, Jonesborough, TN 37659, USA
“Conversations that Matter” is a monthly on-line series from the McKinney Center. In each “Conversation” two local guests will explore their own culture and perspective, and talk to each other about what makes them unique, discover their similarities, and explore their differences. They will look at where their lives might intersect personally and in the community. The goal of each “Conversation that Matters” is for guests and participants to hear real stories, from real neighbors.
The next event in this series will feature Adam Dickson and Felipe Fiuza for a second time. Adam and Felipe had their first conversation in April and many asked for this conversation to continue. We are excited to hear even more. This conversation will be moderated by Katelyn Yarbrough and guest moderator, Brittany Butler. It will take place via Zoom on June 24, at 7pm.
Register at McKinneyCenter.com.
Adam Dickson currently works for the City of Johnson City, TN as Supervisor of the Langston Centre (Langston), a facility promoting multicultural awareness through community arts, education, and leadership. Langston sits on the site of the former Langston High School, Johnson City, TN's black high school from 1893-1965. Adam is an Adjunct Instructor of Political Science at East TN State University. For 15 years he has taught the course “Black American Political Thought” which examines black political ideology and the role of race in American political development. Adam currently serves as Vice-Mayor for the Town of Jonesborough, TN, and he holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science from Carson-Newman University. He received a Master of Public Administration degree from East TN State University in 2004.
Felipe Fiuza is an Assistant Professor of Spanish at East Tennessee State University (ETSU), where he is also the Director of ETSU's Language and Culture Resource Center. As director of the center, he works towards closing the gap between East Tennessean native speakers of English and people from other languages and cultures through language services, such as interpretation and translation, offered by the center. Felipe's first poetry book, Ucideia, just won first place in a peer-reviewed literary contest from the Federal University of Espírito Santo Press, and as a result will be published by them with a release date of March, 6th, 2020. His research interests are linked to the intersection between literature and cognitive sciences, focusing in Brazilian Literature and in Literature from the Iberian Peninsula.
This monthly series is inspired by the Diversity & Equity Subcommittee at the McKinney Center, and their desire to highlight the experiences of all voices in Washington County, Tennessee, with an intention to include marginalized groups. By showcasing these conversations, the Diversity & Equity subcommittee hopes to open doors to new ideas and perspectives amongst our very own neighbors. Questions such as, “What was your experience in grade-school and how did that make you feel?” or, “Have you experienced exclusion or racism?” For many of us the answers are different and unique. The McKinney Center believes it is time to talk about our experiences and share them.
There is value in uplifting these stories so that we may learn from one another. Then, after hearing from one another our moderators and guest conversationalists will give insight on how to move forward.

The Sound of Music
June 25, 2021 7:30 pm - 10:00 pmThis production will be held at the Bonnie Kate Theatre in Elizabethton, TN.
The final collaboration between Rodgers & Hammerstein was destined to become the world's most beloved musical. Featuring a trove of cherished songs, including "Climb Ev'ry Mountain," "My Favorite Things," "Do Re Mi," "Sixteeen Going on Seventeen" and the title number, The Sound of Music won the hearts of audiences worldwide, earning five Tony Awards and five Oscars. The inspirational story, based on the memoir of Maria Augusta Trapp, follows an ebullient postulate who serves as governess to the seven children of the imperious Captain Von Trapp, bringing music and joy to the household. But as the forces of Nazism take hold of Austria, Maria and the entire Von Trapp family must make a moral decision. (from Concord Theatricals)

2021 McKinney Center Market
July 9, 2021 12:00 pm - 7:00 pmMcKinney Center at Booker T. Washington School, 103 Franklin Ave, Jonesborough, TN 37659, USA
New McKinney Markets Designed to be COVID-Friendly
The McKinney Center is hosting a series of six markets with artists and crafters beginning February 26-27 and the second falling on March 5-6, with others scheduled on weekends throughout the spring.
Continuing to keep safety at the forefront, McKinney Center Director Theresa Hammons designed these smaller events to provide an opportunity for artists to show their work, and for patrons to peruse and shop from area artisans and crafters in a socially distanced environment.
Hammons observes that Jonesborough and the region in general is home to many people for whom art making is their career. “With so many galleries closed and traditional art festivals cancelled, it felt like this could be a way to assist our local artists in continuing their livelihoods.”
In addition to holding these markets for artists, Hammons also points out that the patrons in the area want what the artists and crafters have to offer, noting an influx of new residents to Jonesborough.
“Whether it is a painting or sculpture, or something practical to use like ceramic vessels or wood crafting, or even something to wear, our area artists and crafters have products that are not only unique, but create a sense of home.”
A total of up to twelve artists will be indoors at each of these mini-markets. In addition, a food truck will be situated in the upper lot of the McKinney Center throughout each market weekend. As the weather gets warmer, artists will also be set up outside. At the first market on February 26 & 27, the market will feature the Comfy Chef food truck. Visitors may purchase their food and take home with them. Artists include Ginny Tallent with g.tallent Inspired Designs (jewelry), Dee Dee Blevins of JenDee (signs and home décor), Katelyn Day of Hunter’s Hearth Pottery (pottery), Rob Scaffe of Rob Scaffe (cabinetmaker, fine furniture, custom wood work), Kelly Hall with Books & Cleverness (prints and 2D art), Robin Castania of Expressions by Robin (fabric, purses, aprons), Bill and Tina Collison (fine wood working), Sheri Deburcheo of Sherapy Sugar Therapy (body care products), Beverly Jenkins with Mosaic Love Studieo (mosaics, painting, jewelry), Rudi & Arlene Angelmaier (fabric, hats, scarves), Tanya Gamble with Heavenly Made (fabric, sachets), and Beth Deming with Last Chance Glass (yard art, birdfeeders, pottery).
Guests and artists are asked to wear masks. Masks will be provided if a guest does not have one. Attendance in the building will be monitored and kept below half-capacity throughout the day. If maximum allowed attendance is reached, guests will be asked to wait outside or in their cars until other guests have completed their visit. In addition, the building will be regularly sanitized and cleaned throughout the day.
The event is open to the public. There is a suggested donation of $1 per person to enter. For more information on this or upcoming markets, please call the McKinney Center at 423-753-0562.
