Cry of the Mountain

One performer, twelve characters, and a banjo. Verbatim stories about mountaintop removal, gathered from interviews conducted by the actor in the mountains of Appalachia. Coal miners, mining executives, artists, hillbillies, scholars, and activists reflect on the coal industry’s best-kept secret. “Real people, a real issue, and a really good actor. When you leave the theatre buzzing with ideas and inspiration, having been individually touched by a performance, I think it’s safe to say that Cry of the Mountain is a rousing success.” -DC Theatre Scene
