Hickory – The Hickory Community Theatre’s toe-tapping, bluegrass Christmas musical Beautiful Star, an Appalachian Nativity starts its 10 performance run this Friday, November 30th at 8:00pm.
It’s time to come home again for the holidays. Beautiful Star, an Appalachian Nativity takes you to the peaks of the Blue Ridge where Reverend Roy Ledbetter and all the members of the Open Heart Community Fellowship have been working hard to fill the holidays with joy. Starting with Genesis and going all the way to the Nativity, they spin a holiday story with down-home laughter, toe-tappin’ music and a tug at the heartstrings.
