- A Delicate Balance - The Alban Arts Center presents the play that revolves around the household of an old couple and the cohabiting Claire, who never passes up an opportunity to drink or to make a good joke at someone's expense (including her own). Their uneasy peace is disrupted first by the unexpected arrival of two old friends - fellow empty-nesters with free-floating anxiety who ask to stay with them to escape an unnamed terror - and then by the arrival of their daughter Julia, whose fourth marriage has collapsed. The show will be presented at 8 p.m. May 3-4 and 2 p.m. May 5 at the Alban Arts Center at 65 Olde Main, St. Albans, W.Va.

It will be presented May 23-25 and May 30-June 1 at 7:30 p.m. at WVSU Capitol Center Theatre, 123 Summers Street in Charleston.
