Theatre
• ONGOING: “A Ring of Fire” is on
the Main Stage at Barter Theatre, Abingdon,
Va. It’s a journey through the life of Johnny
Cash, as told by his music. The Man in Black
September 201419

wishes, after she “destroys one three-weekold Packard, a two-car garage and a tool
shed” when she was “just putting the car in
reverse.” Follow the interesting relationship

Werthan family. A moving story of friendship
told with humor, warmth and beauty,
