Aficionados of realistic horror, however, should revel in the blood, guts and superb casting and special effects.           ]]></description>

Film Series, Concerts, Much More On Tap For Mountain Empire

ABINGDON, Va. &#8211; Virginia Highlands Community College will open its Spring Semester Arts Array&#8217;s Film Series with &#8220;Pete Seeger: The Power of Song,&#8221; 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.
&#8220;Many of the most critically acclaimed films never get to the commercial theaters in the area,&#8221; Jennings said.&nbsp; &#8220;And there are a lot of film buffs who still value seeing movies where they were intended to be experienced &#8211; on a big screen in a movie theater.&#8221;           ]]></description>

For those sad souls completely convinced that if it isn&#8217;t stamped &#8220;Made in China&#8221; or needs batteries that it can&#8217;t be Christmas, I extend my sincere condolences. 
If you find lumps of high-sulfur bituminous in your stockings Christmas morning, don&#8217;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&#8217;s magnificent, uplifting and soul-warming holiday productions.

Actors Rehearse For Classic Holiday Play

ABINGDON, Va. &#8211; On a cold and blustery night as snow lingered in the clouds, a dozen or so actors gathered on a third-floor soundstage.
It&#8217;s Sunday night. Several blocks from Barter Theatre&#8217;s main stage and less than a week from opening night of  &#8220;Miracle on 34th Street,&#8221; actors young and old ran through the play.
Set to run from Nov. 21 through Dec. 28, the play draws from the classic film from 1947. 
Edmund Gwenn as Kris Kringle won an Academy Award for best supporting actor. Veteran actor Rick McVey fills the role at Barter.
&#8220;It has its challenges because it is Santa Claus,&#8221; McVey said. &#8220;You have to do it from the heart and not from the head.&#8221;           ]]></description>

Radio play Based On Holiday Movie Can Be Seen On Nov. 24

Return to the days of live radio. Voices carried over the airwaves like beacons from faraway lands to ignite imaginations gathered around millions of radios. 
So it goes with &#8220;It&#8217;s a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play.&#8221;
Scheduled to stage at the Paramount Center for the Arts in Bristol, Tenn. on Nov. 24, the show will not exactly transmit via the airwaves, but it sure recalls days of yore when live radio dramas dominated many a radio in many a living room.
Joe Landry wrote the play nearly 20 years ago while still in high school. A fan of the Frank Capra classic film version of &#8220;It&#8217;s a Wonderful Life,&#8221; when Landry&#8217;s interest in old-time radio shows grew, he decided to adapt his version as if it were a radio show on stage.
&#8220;It&#8217;s a lost art, writing a radio play,&#8221; Landry said last week from his home in Fairfield, Conn. &#8220;There&#8217;s a tip to nostalgia, but I also tried to keep it relevant.&#8221;           ]]></description>

Opera essentially equates to drama overload.
J. Robert Oppenheimer certainly applies as fodder for an opera.
The renowned nuclear physicist is the subject of &#8220;Doctor Atomic,&#8221; an opera scheduled to air via satellite from the Metropolitan Opera in New York City on Nov. 8 and then again on Nov. 19 at Cinemark&#8217;s Tinseltown in Bristol, Va. 
&#8220;It is a contemporary opera,&#8221; said Charlie Siedenburg, a spokesman for the Metropolitan Opera. &#8220;It&#8217;s sung in English, whereas most operas are sung in a foreign language.&#8221;
English or not, &#8220;Doctor Atomic&#8221; drips with relevancy and nail-biting drama.           ]]></description>

ABINGDON, Va. &#8211; Step inside the home and life of Bill Campbell.
Incredibly moving music from &#8220;The Damnation of Faust&#8221; by Hector Berlioz resounds within Campbell&#8217;s living room. No television. Instead, thousands of opera tapes, CDs, LPs and 78s dominate his home.
To paraphrase English poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge, opera, opera everywhere with neither rock nor roll in sight.
Now, the retired schoolteacher and lifelong opera aficionado is on a mission to introduce local students to the wonders of opera. Enter Campbell&#8217;s newly minted and multi-tiered Opera in Schools program. It started kind of simply.           ]]></description>

JONESBOROUGH, Tenn. &#8211; For M.J. Light, joining the cast of &#8220;The Firebird&#8221; at the Jonesborough Repertory Theatre was a serious challenge.
At 22, the Bluff City woman has been working for five years as a sign language interpreter for East Tennessee State University and other schools. She also serves on a team of interpreters at the Celebration Church of Blountville, Tenn.
Light developed an interest in sign language a few years ago while being home-schooled. She met a deaf woman and studied sign language. She also took courses at ETSU and earned a national interpreter&#8217;s certification.
&#8220;I felt the calling into it kind of as a ministry as well as a profession,&#8221; Light said.           ]]></description>

JONESBOROUGH, Tenn. &#8211; Ashley Reuss can&#8217;t hear the director&#8217;s calls during productions of &#8220;The Firebird.&#8221;
She is deaf.
&#8220;So, I have to make sure that my lines and my timing [are] exact, so I&#8217;m watching all the body language of all the people,&#8221; Reuss said through an interpreter. &#8220;I don&#8217;t want to miss something. So, I have to make sure I remember each line and remember each movement.&#8221;
A recent arrival to Johnson City from Washington, D.C., Reuss, 24, plays the role of the &#8220;Signing Duke&#8221; in the current production of &#8220;The Firebird,&#8221; now on stage through Oct. 12 at the Jonesborough Repertory Theatre.
&#8220;I think this play is going to be interesting for everyone &#8211; people who are deaf, hard of hearing or involved with the deaf community,&#8221; Reuss said. &#8220;Anyone who is interested in sign language will love it.&#8221;           ]]></description>

Theater Staging Two Plays At Once &#8211; One For The Hearing And One For The Deaf

JONESBOROUGH, Tenn. &#8211; You cannot clap and get your point across.
The deaf, after all, cannot hear you banging your hands together.
So instead, you must flail your hands above your head &#8211; and wiggle them wildly.
And then come the smiles, along with the clapping, at the conclusion of the Jonesborough Repertory Theatre&#8217;s current production of &#8220;The Firebird.&#8221;
This is kind of like a split screen &#8211; or a split stage, you should say &#8211; with two plays going on at once: one for the hearing and one for the deaf.
And yet, it&#8217;s really only one. It feels like only one in that the actors all mesh together &#8211; the ones who can hear and the three who have no hearing.           ]]></description>
