Carden’s ‘Birdell’ gets DVD Release

There will be a DVD release party for acclaimed writer Gary Carden’s play “Birdell” at 6:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 5, at City Lights Bookstore in Sylva. 

David Joy, renowned author of The Line That Held Us, says of the play, “Gary Neil Carden has lived with an ear to the ground and this play is the voice that he heard. “Birdell” is a testament to the gone and the going away, a lonesome whippoorwill song remembered by those who were here, never heard by those who have come.” 

For more information, call City Lights Bookstore at 828.586.9499.

At our inception 20 years ago, we chose to be different. Unlike other news organizations, we made the decision to provide in-depth, regional reporting free to anyone who wanted access to it. We don’t plan to change that model. Support from our readers will help us maintain and strengthen the editorial independence that is crucial to our mission to help make Western North Carolina a better place to call home. If you are able, please support The Smoky Mountain News.
