Press release:
Love Makes a Home: The Life of Rebecca Boone will come to White Horse Black Mountain at 3pm on Sunday, June 11. This play about a frontier woman features the old time fiddling of internationally renowned fiddler Bruce Greene and the acting talents of Barb McEwen.
“Rebecca Boone’s grit and determination too often gets overshadowed by her larger-than-life husband,” said Kiesa Kay, playwright. “She moved more than 20 times, gave birth to ten children, and raised six others.”
Rebecca and Daniel Boone met at a dance, and Bruce Greene, who’s in the Old Time Fiddlers Hall of Fame, chose the historically authentic tunes for the play.
“It’s a real honor to have Bruce Greene performing the tunes he chose,” Kay said. “He plays tunes in the old time way that Rebecca herself would have heard. I envisioned the play as a kind of duet between the actor and the fiddler. Bruce recently completed a new CD, River in Time, which will be available for sale at the show.”
The play will be directed by Kay Wise-Denty, with Abby Auman on lights.
