Welcome Home

The Pearl S. Buck Birthplace Foundation, Inc., in conjunction with Playwright Courtney Smith, presents the play Welcome Home. This drama will transport the audience to the time when Pearl Buck, Oscar Hammerstein and James Michener created the Welcome House Adoption Program for mixed race children. Through the play we will see these three characters grapple with the tough choices of the day and the realization that all children should be treated equally without regard to race or country of origin.

Before the play, Janet Mintzer, CEO of Pearl S. Buck International, will speak to the audience about the Welcome House Adoption Program and how it has benefited countless children and families through its long and successful history.

The cast includes Stephanie Bachman, Larry Davis, Danny Boone, and Jim Norris. Each cast member brings years of experience to the stage. They all have performed in the Greenbrier Valley Theater as well as other theaters in the region.

Proceeds from the play will benefit the Pearl S. Buck Birthplace Foundation’s Museum Reinvestment Campaign which is raising funds for structural repairs to the property. For more information, contact the Pearl S. Buck Birthplace Museum at 304-653-4430 or info@pearlsbuckbirthplace.com.

Caravan of Thieves

Caravan of ThievesGet tickets for Caravan of Thieves in Marlinton, WV  on Eventbrite

This Caravan of Thieves is a ragtag crew of self-described “Gypsy swinging serenading firebreathing circus freaks!”

For the past four years, Caravan of Thieves has roamed the North American continent recruiting a family of avid thrill seekers at their high-energy shows. Driving gypsy jazz rhythms, acoustic guitars, upright bass and violin lay the foundation for mesmerizing vocal harmonies and fantastic stories. It’s theatrical and humorous. It’s musical and intense. It entertains, dazzles and defies classification while welcoming the spectator to join the band throughout the performance in momentary fits of claps, snaps and sing-alongs. If Django Reinhardt, the cast of Stomp and the Beatles all had a party at Tim Burton’s house, Caravan of Thieves would be the band they hired.

In the spring of 2008, vocal harmonizing, acoustic guitar spanking husband and wife songwriting duo Fuzz and Carrie Sangiovanni extended their family to include fiery violinist Ben Dean and double bass madman, Brian Anderson completing their colorful vision. Since then, the four of them ran away from home and never looked back.
