Review: Barter’s ‘Wizard of Oz’ ‘Innovative and Perfect’
Kansas, a huge tornado, witches, Munchkins, the Yellow Brick Road and the entire land of Oz have somehow – magically would be my guess – been squeezed onto the Barter Theatre stage for what promises to be one of this season’s theatrical highlights.

Review: Barter’s ‘Four Places’ Invites Discussion About Aging
Legend has it that, during the 19th century, Texas Rangers about to do battle with the notoriously cruel Comanches were advised to always keep one bullet in reserve – for themselves – rather than risk capture by an enemy that prided itself in keeping captives alive and conscious for days and days of innovative tortures.

Review: ‘Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Coat’ at Barter
Anybody expecting a quiet opening of Barter Theatre’s 76th season – with the economy being what it is and all – doesn’t know Richard Rose, Barter’s hard-driving top banana, aka producing artistic director, and his jumping bunch of equally ebullient actors, technicians and just plain folks who make Barter the miracle that it is.

Spring Into The Arts
Film Series, Concerts, Much More On Tap For Mountain Empire
ABINGDON, Va. – Virginia Highlands Community College will open its Spring Semester Arts Array’s Film Series with “Pete Seeger: The Power of Song,” a documentary about the legendary folk singer and composer who helped shape a generation with his songs.
The film will be shown on Jan. 19-20, at 4 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. at the Abingdon Cinemall.
Now in its 38th year, the Arts Array Film Series showcases documentaries, foreign films and independent American films that are not shown in the commercial theaters in the Tri-Cities region. According to Ben Jennings, Arts Array coordinator, there is a need for the series.
“Many of the most critically acclaimed films never get to the commercial theaters in the area,” Jennings said. “And there are a lot of film buffs who still value seeing movies where they were intended to be experienced – on a big screen in a movie theater.”

Review: Two Christmas Productions on Stage at Barter Theatre
For those sad souls completely convinced that if it isn’t stamped “Made in China” or needs batteries that it can’t be Christmas, I extend my sincere condolences.
If you find lumps of high-sulfur bituminous in your stockings Christmas morning, don’t try to pawn the fault off on me.
For the rest of us, who still believe Christmas, Hanukah, the Winter Solstice or whatever else anyone chooses to call it means something special, may I suggest you treat yourself to one or both of the Barter Theatre’s magnificent, uplifting and soul-warming holiday productions.
