Editor’s Note: “Israel’s Pig” is the winner of the Lowcountry Weekly/Short Story America Tricentennial Short Story Contest. Congratulations to writer Guy J. Tirondola. (And thanks to Jonathan Green for the use of his images.)
Alzheimer’s Family Services of Greater Beaufort invites you to dine with 99-year-old Lucy Marsden, as she tells her story of life with the Captain, a veteran of the War for Southern Independence. The play “Her Confession,” both bawdy and heartbreaking, is the last confession and prayer for judgment of a woman with “a good memory for grudges” and a mortal need for forgiveness. Jane Holding plays Lucy, having adapted the play from the best-selling novel “Oldest Living Confederate Widow Tells All,” together with its author, Allan Gurganus.
The curtain will rise next month on the inaugural International New Plays Festival of the Lowcountry, (INPFL) which will bring three evenings of original plays to the stage at USCB’s Center for the Arts in Beaufort.
Local author’s new novel hits close to home.
Beaufort-based Short Story America's first anthology is coming out in a beautiful first edition on June 24th.

Area residents and visitors are invited to a book launch party and signing on Friday evening, June 24th, from 6 pm until 8 pm at Lowcountry Winery on Bay Street.
