The Man Behind the Press

Here at King University, there are numerous exciting things to learn about the campus and the ones who serve it. Recently, I have become aware of The Sign of The George Press at King University. The press is located in the basement of the Fine Arts building on the Bristol campus, and the shop is quite impressive. There you will find Mr. David Winship, the director of The Sign of the George Press. Within the shop, he operates the historic machines to help him with press printing. I had the pleasure of interviewing Mr. Winship this past Tuesday; here is what he had to say about his shop.

King Alum Katherine Patterson Presents Word Premiere of “Good King Wenceslas”

The city of Bristol will undoubtedly be rocking with holiday cheer last weekend with the world premiere of “Good King Wenceslas”. Good King Wenceslas is a fun, witty Christmas play that displays themes of the Christian faith and conveys the importance of family during the holidays. The play has never been seen before and will debut at the Paramount in Bristol, Tennessee, on Friday, December 2nd. The play is written by Katherine Patterson and Stephanie Tolan, two world-renowned authors with prestigious track records. Patterson, a King graduate, is most notable for her book “Bridge to Terabithia”, whereas Tolan’s most significant project is Surviving the Applewhites. The production of this play is a massive deal for King University, to say the least. With Patterson graduating from King in 1954 with a degree in English, she bestows the honor of the first performance of it within the hands of King and members of the school’s community.
