It offers everything an audience could want, from the unbelievable musical talent of the Due Time Band to first-class comedy skits and witty banter between cast members. As always, AMT provides the “Freshest Sound in the Mountains,” with revisited favorites and completely new selections each season. Whether you’re an annual attendee or a first-time visitor, the Premier 2-Hour Show is always a must-see experience.
So, if you’re looking for things to do in West Virginia, look no further! We can even help you plan your West Virginia vacation. Our friendly staff of packaging specialists have a number of itineraries ready to choose from, or they can help you customize your perfect WV trip. Pair AMT’s “Freshest Sound in the Mountains” with a scenic train ride, lodging, and unique dining experiences and you have the perfect mountain getaway. A basic 2-night package starts at $260 per person. For more information call 888.793.4379 or visit www.americanmountaintheater.com.

| Join us as author Bob O’Connor offers a program detailing the growing historical grievances that eventually led to WV statehood. While most people are of the impression that WV became a state due to the opposition to Virginia's secession from the Union in 1861, in fact western Virginians had been discriminated against since 1776 by their eastern Virginia brethren. This program is offered as part of the 150th anniversary commemoration of WV statehood. Free and open to the public. A reception will follow the program.

| The Dixie Swim Club
Five Southern women, whose friendships began many years ago on their college swim team, set aside a long weekend every August to recharge those relationships. Free from husbands, kids and jobs, they meet at the same beach cottage on North Carolina's Outer Banks to catch up, laugh and meddle in each other's lives. As their lives unfold and the years pass, these women increasingly rely on one another, through advice and raucous repartee, to get through the challenges (men, sex, marraige, parenting, divorce, and aging) that life flings at them. Directed by Colin Crawford.
The Dixie Swim Club will be performed at the MT Pockets Theatre Company May 24, 25, 30 and 31 and June 1 at 8pm. Tickets are $14.50 for adults, $12.50 for seniors and $9 for students and can purchased online at www.mtpocketstheatre.com or the Wine Rack on Pineview Drive. For more information please visit www.mtpocketstheatre.com or call 304-284-0049 . |
