Synopsis

Volume One of Magic, Miracles and Memories on Main Street is an arresting biographical sketch of Greenwood Community Theatre's Artistic and Executive Director, Bess Park. The first volume, Bess Park - Leaping Through Life chronicles Bess's carefree childhood in Greenwood, SC, through her tumultuous personal and professional life and culminates in her hopes and aspirations for both herself and Greenwood Community Theatre. Complete with life lessons learned and honest evaluations of career paths taken, Leaping Through Life is a compelling read for both young and old. This volume can also serve as as an illuminating case study of managing a community theatre, a 501(c3) charitable non - profit organization for the appreciation and proliferation of the arts, in the face of a severe economic recession. Greenwood Community Theatre is located in Greenwood, South Carolina and is the backdrop for future volumes of Magic, Miracles and Memories on Main Street.

About this title

About the Author:

After 30 years of marketing textbooks for numerous college publishers, Laura Stowe has very much enjoyed doing something different! Instead of poring over gargantuan tomes, she has had incredible fun authoring this slender volume about something that is near and dear to her heart and that of her son, Charlie, a budding actor. New to Greenwood, South Carolina, Charlie sought out the local community theatre and it welcomed him whole-heartedly. Laura began volunteering at Greenwood Community Theatre on a regular basis and became enthralled with the inner machinations of the sometimes thriving, sometimes struggling, community theatre and its undisputed leader, the indomitable Bess.
