###  Thirty years later, come hear how it all began.

On NarroWay’s exact 30th birthday, Rebecca Martin and “Birdie” Clark take the stage to tell the story themselves — the unexpected beginning, the years that followed, and the faith that shaped the journey.

If you've ever wondered how NarroWay came to be and who Rebecca and Birdie are, well, here's your chance to share the journey! Join us for The NarroWay Story, September 17 at 6:30pm at the NarroWay Theatre.

 Where It Began

 "You Will Call the Company
NarroWay"

Rebecca and Birdie were youth ministers in Whitesburg, Kentucky. They wrote original shows for their youth team and took them outside the church walls — but they were not planning to start a company.

 Rebecca heard the words. Birdie’s response was simple: “What company?”

From then on, they began putting "a NarroWay Production" on the music and scripts they created. More than a decade later, they moved to South Carolina, and in 1996 the NarroWay story entered a new chapter.

 And one very new story

##  Meet Cleopatra

 Thirty years of history deserves at least one completely unpredictable stage debut.

Cleopatra is NarroWay’s newest baby camel — and September 17 will be her first appearance on the NarroWay stage. We make no promises about what she will do. That is part of the fun.
