BECKLEY, WV (LOOTPRESS) – Theatre West Virginia is hosting a celebration event of the glory days of the theatre called “Hatfield VS. McCoys Night.”
The event will take place on Thursday, June 1, from 6 PM-10 PM at the Black Knight Country Club in Beckley.
Tickets are $10 a person and those who attend will have the opportunity to meet with TWV cast and local business professionals. The event will also feature a cash bar, a silent auction, and an opportunity to see how the “Battle of the Hog” plays out firsthand.
Theatre West Virginia was founded in 1955 as the West Virginia Historical Drama Association by concerned citizens from the Raleigh County region who desired to present West Virginia’s unique culture to as wide an audience as possible.
Founders included former Governor Hulett C Smith, Leo Vecellio, Charles Hodel, C.S. Lewis, Harry Anderson, Waldo Lafon, M.W. Powers and others who helped fund the project. In 1961, their dream became a reality with the opening of Honey in the Rock.
The dramatic view of the New River Gorge coupled with a perfectly designed amphitheater in Grandview have provided more than one million visitors with the excitement of outdoor musical drama.
