From This Day Forward

From This Day Forward is an outdoor drama that tells the story of the Waldenses, a people from the Cottian Alps in Northern Italy and the founders of the Town of Valdese. The production begins with the early days of religious persecution by the Roman Catholic establishment and Louis XIV of France. The play follows the Waldenses through years of exile, a triumphant battle and return to their homeland, and the journey of a group of Waldenses to America in the late nineteenth century to find new land to farm and prosper.

The production has been staged each year since 1968 by the Old Colony Players, a community theater company based at the Old Rock School in Valdese. The play was written by Fred Cranford, a Burke County native.
