Before alternative music or plays, there was Marion's very own Cherry Sisters who terrorized the opera houses of the local state in the late 1890s. A couple interesting artifacts are found here.

The Cherry Sisters may have also figured in free speech to which they sued and lost to newspapers that didn't like their performances. case in point: http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~iaohms/cherry_articles.html
