**Grandma Gatewood Took a Walk at Barter Theatre**

Join us at Barter’s Smith Theatre from May 11th to June 2nd for a remarkable theatrical experience, "Grandma Gatewood Took a Walk." This inspiring play, written by Catherine Bush, tells the true story of Emma Gatewood, a 67-year-old mother and grandmother who embarked on an extraordinary journey. One spring day, Emma told her family she was going for a walk, leaving out the detail that her walk would span over 2,000 miles through 14 states. Her adventure made her the first woman to solo through-hike the newly formed Appalachian Trail, marking a significant moment in hiking history.

"Grandma Gatewood Took a Walk" is not just a play; it's a wildly theatrical adventure that follows Emma and all the individuals who played a part in her incredible journey. The production brings to life the challenges and triumphs Emma faced, offering audiences a glimpse into the resilience and determination of this remarkable woman.
