Dillards, Peterson to perform with Mayberry tribute artists in Troy

Tuesday, August 4, 2009 Actress Maggie Peterson, who played the role of Charlene Darling, along with The Dillards (The Darlings) and the Mayberry Tribute Artists will perform in Troy at 7 p.m. Aug. 8 at the James Garner Center in Troy.

Mayberry Nights in Troy is a benefit to raise money for the Montgomery County Drug Abuse Resistance Education (DARE) Program.

Tickets are $20 for reserved seats, $15 for general admission and $10 for children ages 6-12. Food and drinks will be provided by the West Montgomery Lions Club. Autograph sessions will be held and cameras are allowed.

“Charlene” only appeared on six segments of “The Andy Griffith Show,” but helped stir a following that has spanned generations.

The show initially was seen on television stations around the country from 1960-1968, including WFMY in Greensboro. The station never stopped running it. Local viewers can see the show on Monday-Friday at 5:30 p.m.

“The show has been on the airways somewhere in the world since the first one aired. It’s never been off,” according to Peterson.

The members of the Mayberry Tribute Artists are: “Otis” (Kenneth Junkin from Tuscalossa, Ala.), “Floyd” (Alan Newsom from Huntsville, Ala.), “Barney” (David Browning from Bristol, Va.); “Opie” (Jamie Sullivan from Cowan, Tenn.); “Howard” (Jeff Branch from Oakboro); “Brisco” (Bob Mundy from Indianapolis, Ind.) and “Goober” (Tim Pettigrew from Roofstown, Ohio).

Fans will see favorite skits and songs from the show.

On the show, The Darlings were a family who lived in the mountains near Mayberry. They periodically drove into town on their old flatbed Ford truck.

Real life brothers, Rodney and Doug Dillard, who played the roles of “The Darlings.” became ground-breaking bluegrass musicians during their stint on the show. They wound up touring with The Byrds and other top acts of the 1963-1966 era.

Peterson now lives in Las Vegas, with her pianist husband. She reflected upon the TV shows saying, “Andy always had every move scripted for us. Those jokes were planned. He was the consummate professional who understood how comedy was supposed to work. I really enjoyed my time on the show.”

The James Garner Center is at 211 Burnette St. in Troy. For tickets and more information, call (910) 572-1313 or (704) 985-6987.
