Each year AAC gathers artists from Southern West Virginia to create live theatre with a distinctly Appalachian voice. 

They will present The Telltale Lilac Bush, adapted by our company playwright A.E. Gill, chronicles 5 of Ruth Ann Musick’s classic ghost stories from Appalachia; “Skeleton Hand,” “Seven Bones,” “Rose Run,” “The Telltale Lilac Bush,” and “Flora.”  

The Telltale Lilac Bush features original music and lyrics by Amanda Bridgette to underscore and enhance the lyrical script.

This unique collaboration features 7 community and educational theatres, the first and largest of it’s kind in West Virginia. 

They will welcome 4th Avenue Arts, Alban Arts Center, Alchemy Theatre Troupe, Children’s Theatre of Charleston, First Stage Theatre Company, and Spring Valley High School Theatre to their Collective.
