The play Dark of the Moon will be presented at the Barboursville Park Amphitheatre beginning this Friday and Saturday. It’s based on Appalachian folk tales and tells the story of a beautiful woman and the Witch Boy who falls in love with her.
We have several interviews with the cast to share, and up next is Joanna Berner Murdock, who plays the part of the woman any the heart of the story - the beautiful Barbara Allen:

Joanna: I wanted the chance to work with Robert Hutchens as a director! I’ve shared the stage with him many times as a fellow cast member.
