💅🏻💋💘 The most important day of 2026 is almost upon us: Dolly Parton's 80th birthday. 💘💋💅🏻
To celebrate, I, Jesse Lou Lawson, have written a jukebox musical using Dolly Parton songs.
On Sunday 18th January, I'm hosting a table read of said musical at The Roses of Elagbalus (temporarily renamed - The Roses of Elagappalachia in honour of Dolly's homeland, the Appalachian mountains).
💗💗 Please join us to celebrate our Lord and Saviour Dolly Parton! 💗💗
Doors at 4pm, 5pm start for the musical. The musical is 2 hours, including a 30 minute interval. The Roses of Elagappalachia is providing us a special bar, with wine, beer and cocktails (incl. alcohol free). I'll be providing everyone with lyric sheets, so you can sing along to your favourite songs.
This is also a fundraiser for D'am, who provide crucial material, financial and practical support to activists who are facing the brunt of state violence as a result of their solidarity actions with Palestine - it's what Dolly would want for her birthday.
