The newly adapted story of our region's rich history, The Aracoma Story -- Spirits & Legends opens at 8:30 p.m. Tuesday, July 20, at the Liz Spurlock Amphitheatre in Chief Logan State Park.After a very successful run last season, the modernized presentation of the classic tale is back on stage once again.
In 2009, former cast members of The Aracoma Story, Bill France and Geoff Allen, collaborated to adapt the show that has been presented in various forms since 1976 into a modern presentation that includes Ipods, cell phones, new characters, new laughs and several new surprises. This season also brings several new faces along with some very familiar names to the stage.
The role of Princess Aracoma will be played by Laura Hatfield of Chapmanville, W.Va.
This will be Hatfield's first season as Aracoma, though she has spent several seasons during her teen years playing the role of Oceana. Hatfield, a 2008 graduate of Chapmanville High School, performed in several shows through the years. She is now a Marshall University student majoring in broadcast journalism with a minor in theatre.
