The Storyteller

Prominent storyteller Donald Davis grew up in a culture of storytelling in the Southern Appalachian mountains. Listening to stories from his family provided the foundation for his talent. He began retelling his family stories as a child and started adding to stories with his own life experiences until he was repeatedly asked to “tell it again, on purpose.” Davis has been most attracted to familial stories and those related to his roots and locality.

Davis served as a United Methodist Minister for over twenty years and has authored several books and original recordings. He has also been awarded the Circle of Excellence and the Lifetime Achievement Awards from the National Storytelling Network.
The Dublin Page of Storytelling
Smith’s of Dublin began hosting An Evening of Storytelling to bring arts and culture to downtown Dublin GA. Smith’s owner, Natalie Curry, initiated this recurring event in Dublin in 2016. Curry grew up attending an annual storytelling event organized by her mother in La Grange, GA and wanted to bring the tradition to Dublin.

Movie House
Built-in 1934, The Martin operated as a movie house, providing years of entertainment for families and a hip hangout for teens, with opening night showings of cult favorites Star Wars, Grease, and so many more. As the 1970s neared its end, the retro movie theatre began to slowly fall into disarray. Not to allow such a prominent part of Dublin GA history fall away, in the 90’s a group of businessmen and an enthusiastic community came together to save the historic theatre from demolition with a complete renovation. In 1996, Theatre Dublin was born as a performing arts center, hosting arts and culture events such as the Atlanta Pops Orchestra and the annual production of The Nutcracker.

One Day: Dublin's Civil Rights Experience
2026-02-07 10:00 - 11:30 | First African Baptist Church, 405 Telfair Street, Dublin, GA, 31021, United States
Relive a powerful chapter of Dublin’s legacy during One Day: Dublin’s Civil Rights Experience February 7th, April 18th, and August 1st at 10 AM, a powerful reader’s theatre held in the very church where Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. gave his first public speech at age 15.
Step back in time to 1944 in Georgia.
Jim Crow laws had a stronghold. The South stood divided, not by borders, but rather by color. Where you shopped, how you traveled, when you could speak, what you ate, and how you lived was determined by the color of your skin.
One fateful day in 1944, a young man on edge came to Dublin, Georgia where he gave a speech during a contest. His words stirred souls and he won the contest. From that high, he loaded a bus, proud and confident. Then came a moment that solidified his future: he was commanded to sit in the back of the bus. An ordinary moment. An ordinary bus. An ordinary command for its time.
An extraordinary boy.
One Day
Step into the world of a young Martin Luther King, Jr. Journey into the South in 1944 during One Day: Dublin’s Civil Rights Experience, reader’s theatre where you are the actor. This living play chronicles the Civil Rights Movement, capturing it through the lives and legacies of those who lived it. Dublin’s rich Civil Rights history is detailed, including highlights of the speech King gave on that fateful day, April 17, 1944 when he was first asked to step to the back of the bus. Other highlights include a focus on Herbert “Hub” Dudley, African American entrepreneur who built a business empire in Dublin. One of his many notable contributions: owning and operating the Dudley Motel, Retreat, and Amoco Service Station where Dr. King, Andrew Young, Maynard Jackson, and other notable Civil Rights leaders met, strategized, and stayed as they travelled across the Southeast.
Your Role
Groups of all sizes are welcome. This experience is intended for all ages. There are reading role and nonspeaking roles. Everyone plays a part, even if as a witness to the history as it unfolds.
Each person will be given a role card, detailing their part.
The reverse of the card gives a deeper history on a person, place, or event during the Civil Rights Movement.
A leader will guide groups through the experience.
The experience is held inside Dublin, Georgia’s historic First African Baptist Church where Martin Luther King, Jr. gave his first public speech at the age of 15 on April 17, 1944. A guided tour of the church is included, and guided tour of MLK Monument Park can be requested.
Cost
$8+ fees per person, advance tickets only.
Click HERE to get tickets, available now! Each attendee receives a special MLK souvenir during the event courtesy of Visit Dublin GA.
Every ticket purchased helps preserve history. All proceeds are collected and returned to First African Baptist Church to support the continued care and restoration of this historic site. No portion of ticket sales is retained by Visit Dublin GA.
(Additional dates for groups can be arranged upon request. Special group rate $5 per person for groups 10 and more. For group reservations of 10 and more, email info@visitdublinga.org)

Festival Beginnings
Dublin Laurens County holds Georgia’s longest St. Patrick’s Festival every March! Dublin’s original festival kicked off in 1966, thanks to local radio personality, Dick Killebrew, who celebrated St. Patrick’s Day by playing Irish music and telling Irish stories and jokes. He felt the community should celebrate in honor of its Irish namesake, and others agreed. The first festival lasted for 11 days and included a Parade and Pancake Supper which are still celebrated today. The Festival has grown and changed over the years, and now includes six weeks of celebration. With a multitude of family friendly events, there is something for everyone!

He felt the community should celebrate in honor of its Irish namesake, and others agreed. The first festival lasted for 11 days and included a Parade and Pancake Supper which are still celebrated today. The Festival has grown and changed over the years, and now includes six weeks of celebration. With a multitude of family friendly events, there is something for everyone!

Festival Beginnings
Dublin Laurens County holds Georgia’s longest St. Patrick’s Festival every March! Dublin’s original festival kicked off in 1966, thanks to local radio personality, Dick Killebrew, who celebrated St. Patrick’s Day by playing Irish music and telling Irish stories and jokes. He felt the community should celebrate in honor of its Irish namesake, and others agreed. The first festival lasted for 11 days and included a Parade and Pancake Supper which are still celebrated today. The Festival has grown and changed over the years, and now includes six weeks of celebration. With a multitude of family friendly events, there is something for everyone!
