The Fabulous Fifties Show
Peggy Mann, a local arts enthusiast, had been to see a show in Shelbyville, Tennessee. On her way home, she told her husband, Ralph, "I believe we can do something like this in Fayetteville, and it will be a good fundraiser for our community."
As Peggy brain stormed ideas with Cary Sullivan and Edith McKay, her idea became a reality. Edith began working on a script, and Cary began recruiting talent.
On a wing and a prayer, they finished the first year. Locals, along with people from other communities sent cards, flowers, and gifts to the cast members. There were even gold stars placed on the dressing room doors back stage.
Over the years the show has grown from two shows to nine. Money was donated to the American Cancer Society for the first twenty years, then to the Multi-County Cancer Support Network. Now, show proceeds go to the Fabulous Fifties Foundation, a 501c3 formed to serve families in Lincoln County.
The show is highly anticipated by the community and surrounding areas. As early as November calls come in with inquiries about ticket sales. Countless hours of practice, preparation and laughter make this show a joy for those on and off the stage.
As Helen Keller stated, "Alone we can do so little, but together we can do so much."
