Thursday morning in Charleston's Municipal Auditorium a traveling theatre group will stage a two-act show called Classics, which focus on two great stories, including "The Lady or the Tiger."
One of the stars of the show is familiar to local audiences - Barboursville native Emily Asbury starred in numerous productions in Huntington, including First Stage Theatre's Seussical, Bye Bye Birdie and many others. After graduating from Cabell Midland High School, Emily studied drama at Ohio's Otterbein College, and now lives and works in New York City.
She's a member of the troupe that's part of Boston's Chamber Theatre Productions. They tour the country putting on stage shows for schools using professional actors, and they're expecting a crowded house tomorrow. The goal of the performance is to educate students about literature, but they have a lot of fun along the way.
I spoke to Emily recently about the show, and she told me that she gets to play the part of an action hero, taking part in an over-the-top sword fighting scene.
It's always great to see local actors enjoying success on the national stage - congratulations, Emily!
