On Stage in January 2014

   January's usually a slow month for theatre as groups get geared up for the new year (February has lots of shows on tap), but there are a few to watch for! 

   Here's the list:

   - Twelve Angry Men - ARTS presents the courtroom drama at the Renaissance Theatre Ballroom in Huntington on Jan. 31, Feb. 1, 7 and 8 at 8 p.m.

   - Million Dollar Quartet - Marshall Artist's Series brings the touring show based on the Broadway musical about a meeting between rock 'n' roll icons Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins. The show takes the stage at the Keith Albee Performing Arts Center on Jan. 26 at 7:30 p.m.

   - No Exit - George Washington High School's Theatre of the Nevertheless presents the play based on the 1944 existentialist French play by Jean-Paul Sartre. The play is a depiction of the afterlife in which three deceased characters are punished by being locked into a room together for eternity. It will be presented - one performance only - on Jan. 10 at 7 p.m.

- Lombardi - Actors Guild of Parkersburg presents the West Virginia premiere of a play about Vince Lombardi, the legendary football coach. It will be presented from Jan. 24 to Feb. 2.

   And that's it! If I missed any, send a note via the comments below or email the info to me at TheMinskers@aol.com and I'll add the info to the list.
