We Did It Together

The Town of Jonesborough produced an original play based on local storytelling, performed by over 60 community members with music and choreography. The project brought together a wide range of participants and audiences, breaking down cultural barriers and promoting understanding. It revealed the richness of the community’s shared heritage and united residents through creative expression, affirming the town’s commitment to storytelling and civic connection.
