BARDSTOWN, KENTUCKYHOME OF THE STEPHEN*FOSTER STORY

Located in the heart of Kentucky�?Ts Bluegrass Country, Bardstown is the home of Paul Green�?Ts musical tribute to Stephen Collins Foster (1826-1864),
considered by many to have been this country�?Ts first truly American composer. The play contains 50 of Foster�?Ts most appealing songs, dramatized by
Green from manuscripts created by the composer for the original Christy Minstrels. With a professiona! and semi-professional cast of 50, The Stephen
Foster Story has played to over 2,000,000 people during its 33-year run. The Stephen Foster Drama Association will host the 1991 Conference, providing

an insider's view of theatre operations, facilities and community involvement.
