When storytelling meets poetry, you have to “Dig a Little Deeper.”

That’s the name of a play by Peggy Douglas of the Southern Exposure monologues and Marsha Mills Davis of Rhyme ‘N Chatt - to amplify the voices of underserved and underrepresented people here in Chattanooga.

This Sunday, Barking Legs Theater will host a dynamic stage reading of the play, starting at 3 PM.
