Cowan Women to Perform at Seedtime

At this year’s Seedtime on the Cumberland Festival, the Cowan Women will be performing their original play It’s About Time. The performance will take place in the Appalshop Theater at 2:00 pm on Saturday, June 13^th. Directed by storyteller Angelyn DeBord, It’s About Time is based on a collection of stories from the lives of the performers and their families in the Cowan Creek community.These stories were collected and turned into a performance piece through a series of workshops facilitated by DeBord and recorded by Appalshop’s Mimi Pickering. The Cowan Women, all living in Letcher County, have come together to share with the Seedtime audience their important and entertaining experiences, honoring the Appalachian mountain women in their lives through oral history.
