The Morehead News

Oct. 2, 2012 —        “Bloody Rowan!” an original play depicting key events in the infamous Martin-Tolliver Feud, opens Friday night at the Rowan County Arts Center on Old Courthouse Square.

       Curtain time is 7:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday and 2 p.m. on Sunday.

       Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for students and may be purchased as the Fuzzy Duck or online at www.moreheadtheatre.org

       It is a production of the Morehead Theatre Guild.

       Due to its violent nature, the play is not recommended for young children.

       Bloody Rowan! also will be presented for the public on Friday, Oct. 12; Saturday, Oct. 13; and Sunday, Oct. 14.

       The play was written by Dr. J. D. Reeder, who also is the director. It has 50 characters portrayed by 36 actors from Rowan and other counties.

       The feud, also known as the Rowan County War, occurred during the period of 1884-1887 and led directly to the founding of a school in 1887 that evolved into Morehead State University.

       The two-hour play is being presented in conjunction with the end of MSU’s 125th anniversary.

       The Kentucky Center for Traditional Music will offer live music throughout the production.
