- A contingent of Huntington’s theatre community gathered Saturday night at the Alban Theatre to watch a terrific two-actor production - The Tennessee Williams Project. The play was presented by the area's newest theatre group, Appalachian Artists Collective, and starred Leah Turley and Evan Parker Alan Wilson. They presented scenes from four different Williams plays: Talk to Me Like the Rain, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, This Property is Condemned, and Summer and Smoke. It was an impressive production, as the actors became four completely different characters, all presented on a deceptively simple but powerful set. We all agreed that our only complaint was that we wanted more - we wished it could have been longer! A terrific show and a great start for this new theatre company.
- Actors for Childrens Theatre (ACT) will present a free production of the play A Thousand Cranes Wed, Sept. 25 at 10 a.m. in the Cabell County Public Library on the 9th Street Plaza in Huntington.
- Huntington's Curtains Up Players announced today that it has canceled plans to present the Rocky Horror Show this year - instead they'll focus on their upcoming season and plans for a Christmas concert.
