The Cumberland County Playhouse opened its newest production, “The Trip To Bountiful” on May 19th.
Tennessee Speaker of the House Rep. Camerson Sexton and state Sen. Paul Baliey joined the crew and presented them with a $500,000 appropriation from the state of TN to the Playhouse.
“This is an amazing gift,” Bryce McDonald, Playhouse producing director, told the Crossville Chronicle.
Sexton said, “The Cumberland County Playhouse provides enormous benefits for our community, just as it has over the last 58 years. It was with great honor that Sen. Bailey and I secured funding to help the Playhouse continue to grow and enhance the experience of all who attend a performance. This is a very special place for me, and I will always be there to assist in preserving this community treasure.”
Bailey added, “The Cumberland County Playhouse has a rich history in Cumberland County, and I’m glad we were able to secure funding to invest in this local gem and enhance the experience of its audiences.
How cool is this?
