Twenty
years after first taking to the stage as
"Ivy Rowe," Barbara Bates Smith will
resume the role of the infamous heroine for
county audiences.
On Thursday,
March 18, the Community Arts Council will
proudly welcome back the renowned actress, who
adapted Buchanan County native Lee Smith's 1988
novel Fair and Tender Ladies for theater in
1990.
The
novelist's unmistakable ability was matched in
Barbara Smith's willingness to hone her craft,
taking lessons from the southern men and women
she'd meet in her early years of performing.
