July 21 – August 23, 2026 @ Barter Theatre
• OPENING JULY 21:“Grandma Gatewood Took a Walk”is on Barter Theater’s Smith Theatre, Abingdon, Va. In 1955, 67-year-old Emma “Grandma” Gatewood called her son and told him she was “going for a walk.” What she forgot to mention was that the walk would encompass all 2,050 miles of the Appalachian Trail. As we join Emma on her adventure, we relive with her the hills and valleys, obstacles and detours of her life that led her to make history as the first woman to solo through-hike the Appalachian Trail. 276-628-3991, www.bartertheatre.com
