Arts Council to Bring “Kitchen Table” to Mineral Area

Mineral Area Council on the Arts is bringing Sharon Bebout Carr to the Fine Arts Theater on Mineral Area College’s Park Hills campus for a one-woman show, “The Kitchen Table.” The performance is set for 7 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 12.
 
Tickets are $5 and may be purchased online via Eventbrite.com, at the Mineral Area College Bookstore, and at the door.
 
Carr is a coal miner's daughter who grew up in the hills of western Kentucky.  Stories and a love for the written word have always been a part of her life, and she said she remembers listening to her father tell stories about his nights underground in the coal mines.
 
“Before I could read, daddy would read to me from his favorite authors--Kipling, Tolstoy, Shakespeare,” she said. “Those moments with my father are indelibly woven into my life and into the way I approach both writing and performance.”
 
Centered around the experiences of a coal mining family, "The Kitchen Table" is an original one-person show about identity, family, memory and loss. The kitchen table serves as a locus from which stories emerge, relationships form and transform, and meaning is created.
