Hello There! Welcome to the first blog post for Triple Cord Productions. I'm so glad to have you here and that you are wanting to learn more about our first project. "Appalachian Tales: Bonnie Kate".
First off, I want to let you know that this will be a series of blog posts that will feature our actors, musician, artist and more! So check back soon for our spotlight posts. Appalachian Tales: Bonnie Kate is a Micro Audio drama that was created for a 5 Minute Audio Drama challenge for the Audio Drama Alliance. The theme for the contest was “Spring”. After listening to a documentary on Appalachian Culture the plan was to create an audio drama showcasing an "Appalachian Spring" while simultaneously using a play on words. What better story to use than local history and the true story of Bonnie Kate and how she “Sprung up” over the wall. The story takes place at what was then called Fort Caswell and now known as Fort Watauga in Carter County, Tennessee. Research was done to make sure the historical facts were correct, including listening to a video showing a historical reenactment of Cherokee War cries, finding sound effects that mimicked the sound of musket fire, and of course getting the amazing cast to bring the story to life! If you wish to visit the real life Fort I recommend visiting Sycamore Shoals State Park. If you go and visit during the month of June every weekend they have a live reenactment play of our local history telling the story of the Overmountain Men, the Battle of King's Mountain, and a scene featuring the story of Bonnie Kate and John Sevier. I hope you enjoy the story of Bonnie Kate. You can listen free below. Please, if you enjoy it post a review on Gumroad, in the comments, on Facebook, or Instagram. Thank you again for taking the time to listen and read this post. Lord willing, there will be many more stories to tell!
