Popular Culture to Mountain Stage

By Betsy Curry
Dottie Bibbee's Popular Culture class is currently sponsoring a trip March 26 to Mountain Stage Live and the Clay Center in Charleston, WV. The Clay Center is a 240,000 square foot establishment, which houses performing arts, visual arts and the sciences under one roof. The Center which opened in July 2003, is one of the few centers of its kind in the country. Mountain Stage is a two-hour radio show recorded live in front of an audience. The shows are taped at the Cultural Center Theater at the Capitol Complex in Charleston, WV. Mountain Stage is currently in its 20th year of existence. The show is a combination of both traditional music as well as innovators focusing on moving ahead.
