Little Women, the Musical.....Outstanding Play, Outstanding Actors!

What a delightful treat my husband, Claude and I had last Saturday night.  We attended the musical. "Little Women", at the Greenbrier Valley Theatre.  I've enjoyed reading the book and watching the movie of "Little Women",  but this musical was outstanding!   

Little Women is an all-new musical, based upon Louisa May Alcott's much-loved novel.  The play brings to life the charming characters of the March family.  Like the novel, the musical tells the story of the March sisters, Jo, Meg, Amy, and Beth as they grow from girls into women, guided by Marmee, their beloved mother.

L to R:  Ashley Taylor (Beth);  Rachel Kenaston (Amy); Katie Fox-Kirsch (Meg); Kim Morgan Dean (Jo).

 

 

This is a LITTLE WOMEN like none you have ever seen or heard before.  Winner of 1998 Richard Rodgers Development Award and the winner of Spirit Award for Best Lyrics of 2006. 

 

Regular ticket prices:  $24/Adult;   $21/Senior;   $15/Student 

For reservations and/or information call:   (304) 645-3838

 

You still have time to see this fabulous musical! 

Show dates are:  April 27, 28, 29  and  May 5, 6, 7.

Greenbrier Valley Theatre's  Art Auction and Benefit

 

 

The Greenbrier Valley Theatre, the State Professional Theater of West Virginia, held its 16th Annual Art and Benefit Auction on Saturday, July 17, 2010.  The auction was a huge success. 

 

There was a wine and Hors D'oeuvre preview party held one hour before the auction which provided attendees time to browse the artwork in advance.  The admission was $10 and was applied to any art auction purchase.

 

 

 

 

 

During the auction, Rose Dobbins, a local artist was painting a rooster which was donated to the GVT and auctioned at the end of the evening.  Rose Dobbins does remarkebly lifelike paintings of people and pets.  She uses crayons, pastels, acrylics, oils, charcoal, pencil, and watercolor.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Besides the silent auction items, there were over 100 items auctioned that included oil and watercolor paintings, sculptures, jewelry, golf packages, and different pieces of furniture that was hand painted with beautiful designs, and much, much more!

 

 

 

 

 

I made one bid on a silent auction painting and two bids on the regular auction...below are two of my paintings from the auction.... The artist, Pamela Gatens, is a local artist from Hillsboro, WV, and paints colorful cats and flowers.

 

During the auction break the attendees were serenaded by "The Marvelous Wonderettes" performing Hits from the '50's & '60's!!!   Performances starts July 22 through August 6.

The GVT is located at 113 East Washington Street, Lewisburg, WV.

The Greenbrier Valley Theatre (GVT) is West Virginia's official year-round professional theatre.  GVT's,  first performance for the season is "The 39 Steps"  This version of The 39 Steps is based on John Buchan's ground-breaking novel, Alfred Hitchcock's iconic movie and the exquisite idea of two Northern English writers Nobby Dimon and Simon Corble of doing the whole play with just four actors.    The play is directed by Cathey Sawyer, and stars Kurtis Donnelly, Betsy Graver, Paul Orwick, and Michael Sharp.

 

 

The Greenbrier Valley Theatre           

 

This ingenious take off on Hitchcock's 1935 thriller is a fast-paced whodunit packed with mystery, romance, and mayhem as four actors take on over 150 characters.  When an ordinary man, Richard Hannay, meets a woman who says she's a spy and takes her home, he soon finds that he has traded his ordinary life for one of murder and intrigue.  Part thriller and part slapstick, The 39 Steps promises an evening of nonstop pleasure and virtuoso performances.

 

L to R:  Kurtis Donnelly, Betsy Craver, Paul E. Orwick, and Michael Sharp

 

 

The 39 Steps show dates are:  May 13, 14, 15, 20, 21, 22, 27, 28, June 11, 12, 18, and 26.  I hope you will be able to attend one of the shows.  My husband and I enjoyed the play and the actors did a fantastic job playing the many, many characters.
