Volume One of Magic, Miracles and Memories on Main Street is an arresting biographical sketch of Greenwood Community Theatre's Artistic and Executive Director, Bess Park. The first volume, Bess Park - Leaping Through Life chronicles Bess's carefree childhood in Greenwood, SC, through her tumultuous personal and professional life and culminates in her hopes and aspirations for both herself and Greenwood Community Theatre. Complete with life lessons learned and honest evaluations of career paths taken, Leaping Through Life is a compelling read for both young and old. This volume can also serve as as an illuminating case study of managing a community theatre, a 501(c3) charitable non - profit organization for the appreciation and proliferation of the arts, in the face of a severe economic recession. Greenwood Community Theatre is located in Greenwood, South Carolina and is the backdrop for future volumes of Magic, Miracles and Memories on Main Street.
