"Cabbagetown: 3 Women," a play inspired by actress Brenda Bynum
and adapted by R. Cary Bynum from the book "Cabbagetown Families, Cabbagetown
Food", tells the story of three Cabbagetown women who came from the
North Georgia mountains to work in the mill. The play became a local cult
classic when it premiered in 1978, and this production at Emory stars Brenda
Bynum, Annette Coleman and Doris Bucher, all members of the original cast.
Musicians returning from the original cast are Fritz Raushenberg and Joyce
Brookshire, who wrote several songs featured in the play. Brookshire, a
Cabbagetown native and country folk musician, is the daughter of Lila Brookshire,
one of the women portrayed in the play. This production of Cabbagetown is
a part of Emory's celebration of Women's History Month. All of the proceeds
