This production stars Rachel Brown as The Wise Woman, Victoria Brown as The Frustrated Matriarch, Joseph Cross as The Good Ol\u2019 Boy, and Jimmy Ladd Horn as The Story Teller. Jones chose this epic poem that covers a variety of social, economic, and environmental issues of the Appalachian region, and divided it between these four Appalachian archetypes, to combat the typical stereotypes of Appalachians.\u201cThe play came with a message: <strong>You Must be Born Again<\/strong>. This was not one of spiritual rededication, but of rededicating your lives to your homeland instead. If a person does not remember where they are from, they are doomed to wander aimlessly throughout the world and not know to the full extent what their identity really is,\u201d said Jones.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column][vc_raw_html]JTNDaWZyYW1lJTIwd2lkdGglM0QlMjI1NjAlMjIlMjBoZWlnaHQlM0QlMjIzMTUlMjIlMjBzcmMlM0QlMjJodHRwcyUzQSUyRiUyRnd3dy55b3V0dWJlLmNvbSUyRmVtYmVkJTJGYjlpUTFzR0ZrWkklMjIlMjB0aXRsZSUzRCUyMlJlYWRpbmclMjBvZiUyMHRoZSUyMEJyaWVyJTIwU2VybW9uJTIyJTIwYWxsb3dmdWxsc2NyZWVuJTNFJTNDJTJGaWZyYW1lJTNF[\/vc_raw_html][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<strong>Cast:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Rachel Brown \u2013 The Wise Woman<\/p>\n<p>Victoria Brown \u2013 The Frustrated Matriarch<\/p>\n<p>Joseph Cross \u2013 The Good Ol\u2019 Boy<\/p>\n<p>Jimmy Ladd Horn \u2013 The Story Teller<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/legacy.berea.edu\/appalachian-center\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2016\/03\/Brier-Sermon-Poster.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Take a look at the original poster<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]Date\/Time: 11\/9\/12[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]Location: Loyal Jones Appalachian Center[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] Additional Information (Scroll Down for Video) Brier Sermon is a theatrical reading of Jim Wayne Miller\u2019s poem, \u201cThe Brier Sermon.\u201d It was directed and adapted for the stage by Megan Rebecckiah Jones as part of her senior theatre project.
