Elephant’s Graveyard – Dress Rehearsal (Photo: Latrelle Bright)
Showing at the Parkland Theater 2nd Stage (Black Box Theater) Directed by Latrelle Bright
The Sparks World Famous Circus had finally arrived! It rolled into the muddy humdrum town of Erwin in East Tennessee via the railroad carrying all the trappings of the spectacular—a Ring Master, a Ballet Girl, a Strongman, an Elephant on parade—and the town was filled with fervent enthusiasm. But, by turns horrific, the fervor turns in on itself when a tragic death leads to a staggering resolution in 1916 Americana.
