directed by Joel Stone
starring James Hindman and Anne O’Sullivan
Based on a true story.
In 1955, sixty-seven-year-old Emma “Grandma” Gatewood, called her son and told him she was “going for a walk.” What she forgot to mention was that the walk would encompass all 2,050 miles of the Appalachian Trail. As we join Emma on her adventure, we relive with her the hills and valleys, obstacles and detours of her life that led her to make history as the first woman to solo hike the Appalachian Trail. The play explores her journey towards freedom and resilience.
