It’s a “Suitcase Showcase” of plays written by Dr. Jack Wann and Ronald R. Van Stockum, Jr. presented on Saturday July 29, 2023 to a full house at the Estill County History and Geneological Society Museum on the Kentucky River in the town of Irvine. The two musicals are “Jubilee Barndance,” a country musical premiered at the Shelby County Community Theatre in 2022, and “Tower by the Thames,” a musical comedy completed, arranged, and awaiting only final orchestration and a premiere! The three one-act dramas were developed by Dr. Wann from short stories written by Van Stockum in his world of magic realism. They are entitled “Hedge Apple,””Dawn of Dusk,” and “Side Step.”
