The world premiere of Outlander, a play written by Gary Carden of Sylva and Horace Frank Lee of Bryson City, will take place from June 2 to June 16 at the Parkway Playhouse in Greensboro.

Outlander tells the story of Horace Kephart, a travel writer who was a key figure in the creation of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. It chronicles how he arrived in North Carolina, and what he did for the region in terms of preserving it. The play combines traditional storytelling, mountain music and humor.
