James Agee's autobiographical, Pulitzer Prize-winning masterpiece, "A Death in the Family" speaks of this place called Knoxville as seen through the eyes of a young boy in the throes of loss and grief. Clarence Brown Theatre's "Knoxville" puts to music the universal coming-of-age story about family, faith, and love – and about the boy who will grow up to write about it. Join us for a preview of the musical and a discussion of Agee's Knoxville. Steve Cotham, Knox County Historian and former manager of Knox County Public Library's McClung Historical Collection, will share images of Agee and his mother's family, some of the few surviving photographs from the time immediately following Agee's father's death.
