One of the real “plane people,” Kevin Tuerff, whose experience inspired the character of Kevin T., attended the final dress rehearsal of Come From Away, August 5, in Franklin. Even more special, he stayed afterward to share his story and participate in a talkback with our audience.

It was a black, white, and red-all-over affair at the Elks Lodge in Franklin, Tennessee on the night of July 11, where joy and pride could be read all over the faces of everyone present. Artist Members, guests, and honorees gathered to celebrate Pull-Tight Players’ 57th season.

The theme was “A Year of Firsts,” noting the organization’s three new show directors in a single season and the inauguration of a new series of Readers Theatre performances.
