Ferrum College - The Ferrum Newsstand

The Blue Ridge Dinner Theatre, in its twenty-sixth season, will produce Just So Stories, a new musical based on the book by Rudyard Kipling. R. Rex Stephenson adapted the stories with music by Emily Rose Tucker and lyrics by Kipling and Stephenson. Underwritten by BB&T, performances are scheduled from June 29 to July 2 in the East Auditorium of the Benjamin Franklin Middle School in Rocky Mount.
