CHARLESTON LIGHT OPERA GUILD PRESENTS "The Civil War" FREE West Virginia Day Performance

The two act musical explores one of the most dramatic and important times in our history with a somewhat contemporary song cycle of pop, rock, operetta and country sounds honoring the people and their times. It tells of the experiences of the soldiers and leaders from both the Union and Confederate armies, examines the lives of the lovers and families they left behind, as well as the hopes of the slaves whose freedom was at stake.

Dance in Davis Park, “the Princess and Her Ponies” with Carli Mareneck and Friends

Carli Mareneck of Trillium Performing Arts Collective in Lewisburg, WV has written, narrated and choreographed this larger than life dance parable inspired by the artwork of Franz Marc and Wassily Kandinsky. Children of all ages will enjoy this delightful tale of a princess coming of age and discovering her conscience with her ponies. The piece includes masks by Jude Binder, painted ponies created by Zarina Mareneck and costumes by Mareneck and Eileen Kramer.
