SUMMARY:Paula Poundstone
DESCRIPTION:“At the top of her game…” (San Francisco Chronicle)\n“Never been funnier…” (Boston Globe)\n“Insightful\, thought-provoking humor… (Chicago Tribune) \n32 years ago Paula Poundstone climbed on a Greyhound bus and traveled across the country — stopping in at open mic nights at comedy clubs as she went.  She went on to become one of our country’s foremost humorists. You can hear her through your laughter as a regular panelist on NPR’s #1 show\, a rascal of a weekly news quiz show\, Wait Wait…Don’t Tell Me.  This year she was part of the talented cast in Pixar’s critically acclaimed movie\, INSIDE OUT\, and she tours regularly\, performing standup comedy across the country\, causing Bob Zany with the Boston Globe to write: “Poundstone can regale an audience for several hours with her distinctive brand of wry\, intelligent and witty comedy.” \nWhile there is no doubt that Poundstone is funny\, the thing that separates her from the pack of comics working today and that has made her a legend among comics and audiences alike is her ability to be spontaneous with a crowd. Poundstone says: “No two shows I do are the same. It’s not that I don’t repeat material. I do. My shows\, when they’re good\, and I like to think they often are\, are like a cocktail party. When you first get there\, you talk about how badly you got lost and how hard it was to find parking. Then you tell a story about your kids or what you just saw on the news. You meet some new people and ask them about themselves. Then\, someone says\, “Tell that story you used to tell\,” and then someone on the other side of the room spills a drink\, and you mock them. No one ever applauds me when I leave a party\, though. I think they high five.” \nPaula’s interchanges with the audience are never mean or done at a person’s expense. She even manages to handle politics without provoking the pall of disapproval less artful comics have received. \nWait Wait…Don’t Tell Me is now the most popular show on NPR\, having reached #1 status in 2014.  Listeners can test their knowledge against some of the best and brightest in the news and entertainment  world while figuring out what’s real news and what’s made up. Paula quickly goes on record about how  much she loves being part of the show saying: “I am a proud member of the endorphin production industry. They allow me to say whatever I want on Wait\, Wait…Don’t Tell Me. The panelists are unscripted\, so it’s perfect for me. I feel like I’m a batter in a batting cage. I get lobbed topics. Sometimes I just watch them go by\, but every now and then I get a piece of one. If the others didn’t cheat\, it would be an almost perfect work experience.” The show is also heard internationally on NPR Worldwide and on the Internet via podcast. In May 2013 the show was Cinecast to movie theatres across the country.  Paula was on the show\, as was Steve Martin. \nIt has been said of Poundstone that she not only shot through the glass ceiling\, she never acknowledged it was there. She was never one to stereotype herself as a ‘female comedian’ or limit herself to comedy from a ‘female’ point of view. Over the span of her career\, she has amassed a list of awards and accolades that include: The first woman to win the cable ACE Award for Best Standup Comedy Special (1992); The first woman to perform standup at the White House Correspondents dinner; (1993); . She has starred in her own comedy specials on HBO and BRAVO. In fact\, “Paula Poundstone Goes to Harvard\,” on HBO\, was the only time the elite university has allowed their name to be used in the title of a television show. If it means anything to anyone\, Paula is recognized as one of Comedy Central’s 100 greatest stand-ups of all time.  She won an American Comedy Award for Best Female Standup Comic\, and in 2010 she was one of a select group voted into the Comedy Hall of Fame.

SUMMARY:The Fields of Gettysburg
DESCRIPTION:A Sesquicentennial Song Cycle \nBy John A. Walsh \nwith special guest: LARRY GROCE \nTickets are $15 in advance. $20 at the door. (General Admission) \nFeaturing an all-star cast of Mid-Ohio Valley musicians\, The Fields of Gettysburg will be presented live in concert on the Peoples Bank Theatre stage. The Fields of Gettysburg is a song cycle that weaves together the personal stories of six people – actual people – whose lives intersected on the crossroads of Gettysburg during the epic battle that took place there on July 1-4\, 1863. \nCertainly a turning point of the American Civil War\, Gettysburg is among the ranks of the most significant battles in world history. More than 150\,000 lives collided in this small Pennsylvania town (population: 2\,500 at the time)\, creating at least that many viewpoints and a million stories to tell. \nThe Fields of Gettysburg will introduce the listeners to six of these people and provide a glimpse of their individual and very personal stories. The characters include two key Generals\, one Union and one Confederate\, who provide the moral bookends to the song cycle; three young Gettysburg natives who grew up together – only to be torn apart by the war – each yearning for some kind of reunion and a return to peace; and a mother who struggles to make sense of her own personal loss as well as the massive loss of the Nation’s youth. \nThis historically accurate musical presentation includes 12 songs and narrative that pulls the stories together\, all back-dropped by a pictorial presentation featuring period photographs and scenery of Gettysburg and the people involved. The entire show runs approximately 80 minutes. \nThe Peoples Bank Theatre presentation of The Fields of Gettysburg will be the full-ensemble version of the song cycle (acoustic & electric guitars\, bass\, drums\, piano & harmonica played by John A. Walsh\, Michael Lipton [Mountain Stage]\, Ted Harrison\, Ammed Solomon [Mountain Stage]\, Bill White\, and Todd Burge). Vocalists for this concert will be the original album cast: Vocalists for this show will be the original album cast: John A. Walsh\, Todd Burge\, Jess Baldwin\, Justin Arthur\, Darlene (DJ) Archer and Colton Pack [X- Factor Finalist]. In a very special guest appearance\, Mountain Stage’s Larry Groce will play the Narrator. \nGroce and his wife Sandra\, violist with the West Virginia Symphony\, have made a new studio recording called “Live Forever”. It features three of Larry’s original songs and eight covers\, mostly songs connected to Mountain Stage over the years. They’ll perform an opening set of songs from the recording accompanied by Michael Lipton (electric guitar – he played on the album)\, Ted Harrison (bass) and Ammed Solomon (drums and percussion). \nComposed by Vienna\, West Virginia’s John A. Walsh\, The Fields of Gettysburg has been received with wide acclaim since its release in 2013. The show was featured on NPR’s Mountain Stage; and the CD is available at The Gettysburg National Park’s Museum Gift Store\, Tamarack’s The Best of West Virginia\, and the Steam Into History Railroad Gift Shop (New Hope\, PA). CDs & downloads of The FOG have been purchased and enjoyed all over America and the world including Germany\, Ireland\, the United Kingdom\, Australia\, Canada and The Netherlands. \nThe Fields of Gettysburg has strong ties to Marietta\, Ohio. Walsh\, White and Arthur are all hometown boys; Jessica Baldwin now calls Marietta home; and Todd Burge is deeply involved developing and promoting the local music scene in both Marietta and Parkersburg. \nThe recording\, in addition to the players presenting at the PBT concert\, includes an array of seasoned Appalachian musicians; including\, two-time Grammy winner\, Tim O’Brien and Mountain Stage founder/host\, Larry Groce. CDs and Download Cards will be available at the show. \nVisit www.thefieldsofgettysburg.com for more information about The Fields of Gettysburg \, the story and the people involved in the creation of this song cycle. \nAbout the Artists\nJOHN A.

From those early days\, Walsh continually refined his skills and now has over 40 years of writing experience under his belt. \nHis special talent for lyrical depth coupled with an oft-times off-the-beaten-path style of chord progression and song structure renders unique\, listenable and memorable songs.

Colton maintains a busy performance schedule including opening for the likes of Dustin Lynch and Kellie Pickler. Whether captivating audiences with soulful acoustic performances or rocking the house with his band\, the result is the same: great country music! Colton’s musical instincts and unique vocal tones have continued to amaze those whom he has been fortunate enough to work with or perform for. \n  \nDJ ARCHER \nAs Jenny Wade \nDarlene Jane “DJ” Archer is a gifted young vocalist.

He began freelancing for The Charleston Gazette in the mid-‘80s and\, after his house was struck by lightning and burned to the ground\, moved to Charleston.  He continued writing regular features\, columns and reviews for the Gazette as well as becoming co-publisher and editor of the alternative newspaper Graffiti – which he edited until it was sold in 2005. \nHis writing has appeared in magazines including “The Village Voice\,” “Spin\,” “LA Weekly\,” “Hustler” and “The New York Times.” \nIn the late ‘80s\, he began playing in the “Mountain Stage” house band and formed The Carpenter Ants\, an R&B group which has now been together for 25 years. The band has toured Moscow twice\, appeared on NPR’s “Mountain Stage” and “Whad’Ya Know?” and toured with the Rev. Jesse Jackson. Along the way he has toured with various bands\, produced numerous CDs\, scored three feature films\, documentaries and shorts. \nRecently\, he won an Edward R.
