Pasaquan, the world famous visionary art site near Buena Vista, Georgia, will celebrate the 101st birthday of its creator, Eddie Owens Martin, by teaming with Chattahoochee Shakespeare Company to produce GOOBERS! The New Adventures of Brer Rabbit at Pasaquan on Saturday, July 4. Described as “Sesame Street meets Hee Haw by way of The Dukes of Hazzard,” the original play features a song about Pasaquan’s creator, Eddie Owens Martin (St. EOM).

The cast of four is headed by Alyssa Farmer as the wily Brer Rabbit. ChattShakes company member Lewis Powell plays Brer Fox, CSU theatre major Mary Anna Coles plays Sister Squirrel, and guest artist Stephen R. Sisson plays Brer Bear.

Pasaquan will be open for tours from 10:00 AM until 4:00 PM on Saturday, July 4. The five dollar per person admission fee to Pasaquan includes admission to GOOBERS! which will be presented at 11:00 AM. There will be no food concessions at Pasaquan, so visitors are encouraged to bring their own picnics, blankets or lawn chairs, and beverages.

Fun for the whole family!

Hi – just wanted to let you and your members know that our museum in Cleveland (which is near where Danny lived) is hoping to do an exhibit in 2010 on Danny. I’m writing a grant to the Tennessee Arts Commission that is due in a few weeks and will learn if we get it in July. We hope to do the show in March/April 2010 with Roger Manley as curator and have a small catalog to go with it.
 
If we don’t get the grant, we will do a scaled down version of the exhibit minus the catalog. I met Danny 2 weeks after arriving at this job when I moved here from upstate New York and fell totally in love with him and his work. I will feel honored to be able to have a museum exhibit of his work.
 
Thought you’d want to know.
