SPRING NEWSLETTER Yadkin Valley Chamber of Commerce2 Wednesday, March 30, 2016

On Friday, March 18, the Barter Theatre Players from the Barter Theatre in Abingdon Va. performed two plays for students at Elkin Elementary School, Elkin Middle School and Elkin High School. Arranged as part of the STEAM initiative in Elkin City Schools, the performing arts is a very integral part of the learning experience for all students in the school system. Having a professional theatri-cal group to visit Elkin helps students to envision potential careers and stirs the emotion/creativity of students in his/her educational journey.

My Imaginary Pirate was performed Friday morning in Dixon Auditorium for stu-dents in grades 3-6. Written by Catherine Bush, the story revolves around the main char-acter, Jesse McCall. Jesse is having trouble making friends at his new school, but in spite of that, Jesse isn’t lonely—he’s too busy going on adventures with his imaginary pirate, the Terrible One-Eyed Jack. Jesse and One-Eyed Jack are deter-mined to find the buried trea-sure, but they discover trouble along the way when the out-law pirate, Red Legs Ricky, steals their treasure map! A high-seas adventure ensues, and Jesse soon realizes that friendship is the greatest treasure of all. This is a heart-warming story that shows the power of imagination.

Students at Elkin Middle and Elkin High School expe-rienced the performance of A Wrinkle in Time, adapted by John Glore from Madeline L’Engle’s novel of the same name. The story begins on a dark and stormy night, as the eccentric Mrs. Whatsit arrives at the home of Meg Murray, a tomboy who doesn’t fit in at her high school. Meg’s scien-

tist father vanished more than two years ago under mysteri-ous circumstances. With the aid of Mrs. Whatsit and her friends, Meg and her gifted brother, Charles Wallace, are transported through time and space on a mission to rescue their father from frightening forces that hold him pris-oner on another planet. John Glore’s wildly theatrical adap-tation brings this acclaimed story magically to life.

On Saturday, in Dixon Audi-torium, The Barter Theatre Players provided a Student Acting Workshop for ECS students. The Student Acting Workshop was free for the first 30 students who signed up with Mrs. Tonya Smith, Cho-ral/Drama Director for Elkin City Schools. Students in grades 3 thru 12 were invited to participate in this unique experience. This was the first time ECS has offered a one hour Student Acting Work-shop by The Barter Theatre Players.

Saturday night, The Barter Theatre Players performed Antigone at Dixon Audito-rium. The play Antigone was open to the public and the cost for advance tickets was $10 or $15 at the door. Stu-dents only paid $5 to attend. Tickets were available for purchase at the Yadkin Valley Chamber of Commerce, Elkin City Schools Administrative Office, and at Elkin Elementa-ry, Middle, and High School. For those who wanted a “din-ner and theater experience” area restaurants (Mazzinni’s and Speedy Chef) were offer-ing 10% discounts if patrons showed a theater ticket while dining out the night of the play. For more information about The Barter Theatre Players contact the Chamber at 336-526-1111.

On Saturday, September 12th the community welcomed the

opening of a section from Grassy Creek Vineyard and Winery off

Klondike Road in Elkin to Byrd’s Branch Campground located

on Martin Byrd Road. This is a 1.5 mile walk across the newly

constructed bridge over the rippling waters of Grassy Creek,

through beds of wood ferns, and a grove of White Pines which has

un-officially been named “The Enchanted Forest.”

Hikes, and bicyclers are looking forward to many more miles of trails opening in the near future around the campground.

Whether you visit Byrd’s Branch Campground & Country Store for a brisk walk, or sit a spell on the front porch eating ice cream owners, Jerry and Sarah Byrd welcome you into the folds of a time when life moved a bit slower.
