ChalfaWhat happened underground should never have happened at all.Coal Country tells the true story of the Upper Big Branch mine disaster—the worst mining catastrophe in the United States in forty years. Through the words of the people who lived it—miners, family members, and investigators—the play lays bare a system where profit was protected and lives were not.This is documentary theatre at its most direct. No characters invented. No speeches polished. Just testimony—raw, human, and impossible to ignore.Nine actors remain onstage for the entire performance, weaving together voices of grief, anger, memory, and resilience. Music by Steve Earle moves through the piece like a witness—sometimes a lament, sometimes a reckoning.This is not a distant story. It’s about labor, responsibility, and the cost of looking the other way. It asks a simple, uncomfortable question: Who is accountable when safety becomes optional?Performed in an intimate black box setting with audience on three sides, Coal Country places you inside the story—close enough to feel the weight of every word.A portion of the proceeds benefits Centenary Community Ministries. This show contains adult language and themes. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/macon/coal-country-a-documentary-play-by-jessica-blank-and-erik-jensen/100001987948947817 - **Event Categories**: art, theatre, music, entertainment, nonprofit - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 12.51, max: 12.51, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Macon - **state**: GA - **country**: United States - **location**: Tattnall Square Center for the Arts - **lat**: 32.8337211 - **long**: -83.6442584 - **full address**: Tattnall Square Center for the Arts, 1096 College Street, Macon, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Coal Country: A Documentary Play By Jessica Blank & Erik Jensen - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/82445686a3439a6e19e5827ab59b7386bb16cb9137a488e50c1b47343361653b-rimg-w427-h640-dcfefefe-gmir.jpg?v=1777382133 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Coal Country: A Documentary Play By Jessica Blank & Erik Jensen being held? - **A:** Coal Country: A Documentary Play By Jessica Blank & Erik Jensen takes place on Thu, 04 Jun, 2026 at 07:30 pm to Sun, 14 Jun, 2026 at 04:00 pm at Tattnall Square Center for the Arts, 1096 College Street, Macon, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Coal Country: A Documentary Play By Jessica Blank & Erik Jensen? - **A:** Coal Country: A Documentary Play By Jessica Blank & Erik Jensen is organized by Barking Dog Productions. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
