The Chattanooga State Theatre and Music Department will present That Other Woman's Child, a Bluegrass Musical, opening Thursday, March 30.
Review for That Other Woman's Child:
Written by Chattanooga's Sherry Landrum and George S. Clinton, That Other Woman’s Child tells the story of Dawn Hanover, an LA professional woman, who returns to her Kentucky roots to claim her birthright as the daughter of the runaway husband and “that other woman”. When the folks at Hanover farm hear their long-lost, big-city, half-sister – “that other woman’s child” – is coming to Kentucky to claim her share of the farm, an uproar is heard throughout the county. They’ve dreaded this moment for 20 years, and they ain’t gonna let no city woman take what’s theirs. Little do they know that she’s actually coming to connect with the family she never knew. That Other Woman’s Child is a joyful, bluegrass-laced look at the trials and tribulations of the ties that bind.
