LEWISBURG W.Va. (WVDN) – Greenbrier Valley Theatre is preparing to host its second Voices of Appalachia Play Festival. Over 10 local performers will bring to life five newly written one-act plays, all written by Appalachian playwrights. Jenna Sulecki, the Artistic Associate at GVT, is happy to be bringing stories to the stage that will resonate with the area.

“The people who live here are very passionate about Appalachia, about West Virginia and about their community,” said Sulecki. “Having a festival that features stories about this region, written and performed by people from this region really is a celebration of what so many people here care about.”

The Voices of Appalachia Play Festival is back by popular demand and enthusiasm has been evident. Dozens of new plays were submitted before a panel of judges narrowed the selections down to the seven being produced. Plays were selected based on their relevance to the region and the quality of their ability to tell a complete story. 

“The amount of plays that were submitted nearly doubled this year,” Sulecki said. “And we feel that the community will be able to relate with some works while laughing at the silliness of others.” 

Now entering its 57th season, Greenbrier Valley Theatre, is a mainstay and theatre destination located in Lewisburg, West Virginia. The arts organization has been further recognized as a “West Virginia Jewel of the Hills,” awarded the Living the Dream Service Organization Honor Roll by The Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday Commission, and is a multi-year recipient of Non-Profit Business of the Year. GVT boasts a robust series of year-round programming and educational offers to enlighten, enrich, and enliven throughout the region.  

“Voices of Appalachia” will run for two nights starting Feb. 23, with both performances beginning at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $20 for general seating and $15 for students and seniors. For more information on tickets, shows, and the organization’s history, visit the theatre’s website: www.gvtheatre.org or call the box office at 304-645-3838.
