Summary:
A poetic chamber play performed in Artist Tim Stapleton's haunting Gallery installation "Black Ribbon Roads." Play and artwork merge past and present as they document his journey to the Appalachian Mountains after a 30-year separation, bringing to light his baptism into a strict southern church and the abuse that follows.

I attended a performance of "Leaning On the Everlasting Arms" while visiting Portland recently. I must say it was an all encompassing production. Coming for Kentucky myself I was totally transpired to the place, the time. the smells of this part of our country. I feel that Mr. Stapleton has captured and encompassed the correct and beautiful essence of Appalachian Kentucky and speaks well for these prideful people. The peace was symphonic in structure and spoke to me on many levels. Kudos to Tim's fellow collaborators. They all were devoted to this project. A very polished and deeply moving piece of theatre and art. I hope this piece has many performances to come.
