On Stage Next Week: Albert's Hall

Here's a show I somehow missed when I listed the shows for November - it's Albert's Hall, an original play by Jason McAllister.

(Thanks to my pal Sarah Diamond Burroway for passing along this info!)

The play takes the stage Friday, Nov. 18 at 8 p.m. and Saturday, Nov. 19 at 8 p.m. at the Hillside Community Church at 1100 Greenup Avenue, 2nd Floor (above Hope's Place) in Ashland, Ky.

The play was created by Sarah Diamond Burroway, Tiffany Caldwell Trent and Brian Cook.

Albert's Hall is the story of a hard-working river town and a mid-80's dispute between Maytown Coal and the union which impacts the lives of these modest people.

Comraderie is challenged as friends gather for a drink at Albert's Hall with labor talks going on behind closed doors across the street. The events of a single evening cause everyone to contemplate on a deeper level about what it all means for tonight - and for their futures.

This production is a fundraiser for Hope's Place, a children's advocacy center. Admission is $5.00 at the door.

The play is written and directed by Jason McAllister, with original music by Jason McAllister and Rob McNurlin.
