NASHVILLE, Tenn. — We preview String City: Nashville’s Tradition of Music and Puppetry, a co-production of the Nashville Public Library and the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum.
Created and presented by the Library’s Wishing Chair Productions in collaboration with the Museum, String City was made possible in part by a special gift from Judy and Steve Turner to the Nashville Public Library Foundation.
Every day throughout the week of June 23-28, a diverse array of puppets will chronicle the history of country music and how Nashville became Music City, USA. Marionettes, rod puppetry, shadow animation, and an ever-changing set will tell the story of country music as it relates to Nashville’s transformation into Music City.
Show times are 10 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. No reservations are required. More information can be found here.
All String City shows will have a sign language interpreter and live captioning. These accessibility services are provided by NPL's Library Services for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing.
This is a story I immediately went home and showed my boys - young athletes with big dreams. The Vanderbilt football team's success has stolen the spotlight - what I love about Steve Layman's story is he reveals the individual hardships it took to get there. As Clark Lea says, "we all have scuff marks." This team proves perseverance pays off!
