DICKSON — The Gaslight Dinner
Theatre at The Renaissance Center will present the Tennessee premiere of
“Life is So Good,” a moving and inspirational true story of George
Dawson, a slave’s grandson who learned to read at age 98.

the book, “Life is So Good: One Man’s Extraordinary Journey Through the
20th Century and How He Learned to Read at Age 98,” written by Dawson

insights into humanity, history, hardships and happiness.
From
segregation and civil rights, to the wars, presidents and defining
moments in history, Dawson reflects on the good and bad of America
during the 20th century, inspiring audiences with the message that,
through it all “Life is so good. I do believe it’s getting better.”
