Ivy Rowe, from Lee Smiths “Fair and Tender Ladies
Celebrates its 25th year of touring at Azule
Friday June 3rd - 7pm at Azule
By Donation
Actress Barbara Bates Smith, noted for her Off-Broadway debut with “Ivy
Rowe," adapted from Lee Smith's bestselling novel *Fair and Tender Ladies,* now celebrates her 25th year of touring with a performance on June 3rd, 2016 at Azule. Musical accompaniment is by Jeff Sebens. This show is free of charge, though donations are gladly accepted. All proceeds will benefit Azule.
"I used to be a scandal; now I'm an institution!" This quote from the
novel, says Barbara, aptly describes her more than 700 times of portraying this feisty mountain woman's life of "livin' on love," even as she takes a stand against the coal company's bulldozer. Author Lee Smith has said,
"Barbara IS Ivy Rowe! I am her most avid fan!" Of its Off-Broadway debut, *The Village Voice *said "A lifetime's worth of sass, whoop, hurt, and reflection;" *WOR Radio*: "We are captivated and enthralled;" *Variety*: "Both funny and heartbreaking."
A Southeastern Theatre Best Actress award winner, Barbara has recently
played leading roles in regional productions of “Wit,” “Hamlet,” “Doubt” and "August: Osage County." Prizewinning North Carolina author Lee Smith has written sixteen books of fiction, including another bestseller novel *The Last Girls, *the ever-popular *Oral History, *and the recently published G*uests on Earth.*

Join us as experienced performer and storyteller Barbara Bates
Smith shares storytelling and story writing tricks and techniques that she has perfected during her 25+ years of performing. In her own words, "Everyone has stories to tell!
Finding yours is fun and easy." Whether you are working toward writing a memoir or the rare pleasure of reminiscing and sharing stories in a
supportive group, this workshop will surely enhance your skills!
Seeing "Ivy Rowe" on Friday night is encouraged- though not necessary- as a reference point. Participants are invited to bring a "treasured object" to hold & tell about as an early exercise. Overnight accommodations at Azule are available for workshop participants.
