FRANKLIN — The patriotic show “Letters From Home” will be performed at 7 p.m. July 15 at the Smoky Mountain Center for the Performing Arts, 1028 Georgia Road, here.

An event promotion said of the show, “‘Letters From Home’ brings back the style of the USO with incredible high-energy performances, featuring creator and founder Erinn Dearth, and self-proclaimed ‘tall guy’ Dan Beckmann! 

“Singing, tap dancing, terrible jokes and audience interaction make up a performance geared towards uniting the nation through music.” 

“Letters From Home,” a promotion noted, “was started by Erinn Dearth at the suggestion of her late father, Pat Dearth, a veteran of the United States Coast Guard. Since that time, the group has performed over 900 shows in venues big and small across the United States, touching the hearts and caressing the memories of hundreds of thousands nationwide with their mission to honor our veterans, active military heroes and their families.”

The show is being presented by the N.C. Scottish Rites Masonic Foundation.
