When the Legacy Theatre’s Artistic Director, Mark Smith, chose “Keep on the Sunny Side: The Songs and Story of the Carter Family” as the anchoring show for the professional theatre’s eighth season, he knew it would be a kind of homecoming.
“I grew up in the Appalachian mountains of southwest Virginia,” said Smith. “I know this story, this music, and these people like the back of my hand.”
Smith is referring to the first vocal group to become country music stars—the Carter family.
