Ladybeard, Aquabats, Roman Love and More…
June 28, 2013 by Rudy PanucciThis is the second weekend of FestivAll, and even though your PopCulteer is laying low this year, that’s no reason that you shouldn’t run out and indulge in all the artsy wonderments.
I will be attending the Charleston premiere of “Ladybeard” tonight at Uncork and Create (more on that below), but my weekend will be eaten up taking care of my elderly uncle while his other caregivers are out of the country, with a couple of breaks so that I can watch The Aquabats Super Show and put together the seventh anniversary episode of Radio Free Charleston.
But let’s get into the PopCulteering, shall we?
Ladybeard
Princess of Rome, Ohio
Opening tonight and running through next weekend at The Alban Arts Center in St. Albans is “The Princess of Rome, Ohio,” a play written by West Virginia native Jonathan Joy.
“The Princess of Rome, Ohio” is the story of love, lost and found, on a front porch in Rome, Ohio. The Alban Arts Center presents “The Princess of Rome, Ohio” on June 28 and 29 and July 4 and 6 at 8 PM, and June 30 and July 7 at 2 PM.This romantic comedy, with some rough language, is directed by Tara Phares-Pauley and stars Megan Murphy Mace, Lisa Anderson Gandee, John Halstead, Johnny Halsted, Adam Bryan and Zoe Scarborough. Tickets are $15 and you can find out more info at The Alban Arts Center website.
