Musical to honor Moses Cone


The Blowing Rock Stage Company will present in June "The Denim King," a musical tribue to Moses Cone, the textile magnate who built his mansion in Blowing Rock. (The house, shown on a cloudy day, is pictured.)


The play is presented and commissioned by the Blue Ridge Parkway Foundation. It was written by Dr. Janet Barton Speer, based on the book, "A Mansion in the Mountains" by Philip Noblitt.


Kenneth Kay is directing the play, and the music and lyrics are by Jonathan Thomas Oaks.
