The two-act play premiered in 1989 in the Anderson Music Hall at the
Georgia Mountain Fairgrounds in
Hiawassee. In 1990, the
Georgia General Assembly named it the state's official historic drama. The play was staged for two months each summer at the fairgrounds until it moved to the Clegg Fine Arts Building at
Young Harris College in
Young Harris for the 1995 season. The drama was performed at the college annually through the mid-2000s. The new venue was notable because Reece taught at the school and took his own life in his campus office in 1958. ==See also==
