A Nice Family Gathering
Ever wanted to achieve that Norman Rockwell style Thanksgiving bliss with your family? Well, the Lundeen family can’t even get close. The Pocahontas County Drama workshop presents “A Nice Family Gathering” by Phil Olson for its Spring production where the recently deceased patriarch keeps showing up and asking for favors. Mom is slipping into dementia and has invited a date. The beloved daughter-in-law is loopy on fertility drugs while her husband is trying to weasel his way out of debt. But it is the quiet sometimes forgotten daughter who delivers the walloping revelation that will make or break the family bond. “ A Nice Family Gathering,” directed by Margaret Baker, will be performed on May 18th and 19th at the Opera House in Marlinton at 8:00 PM. Tickets for the performance are $8.00 available only at the door.
(Please note: Some material may not be suitable for small children.)

The Honey Dewdrops
Husband-and-wife folk duo Laura Wortman and Kagey Parrish began their careers as songwriters after their appearance and first-place win on a 2008 talent show broadcast of NPR’s “A Prairie Home Companion.” The Dewdrops have since released two critically acclaimed albums, “If the Sun Will Shine” (2009) and “These Old Roots” (2010).
Performing on stage, The Honey Dewdrops’ “sweet kind of melancholy” echoes traditional American folk styles while reflecting the more modern sounds of country and rock. When it comes to composing, the duo strives for “relevant, meaningful songs.” Their tunes and words are efficient and simple, drawing inspiration from the foothills of the Blue Ridge mountains of Virginia, where they live. Surrounded by this richness of old-time blues and bluegrass, the Dewdrops entwine tight harmony singing with thoughtful instrumentation and craft songs that are simple and fine-tuned. Theirs are new songs from the southern mountains that ring with originality.
