Cooking in Community: Luigi's Meatballs
2023-03-20 18:00 - 20:00 | Phil Gainer Community Center, 142 Robert E Lee Ave Ext, Elkins, WV 26241, USA, 149 Robert E Lee Ave Exd, United States
Augusta is presenting a new series of foodways classes in Elkins, WV! The classes will be taught by experienced chefs and home cooks from a variety of cultures represented in Appalachia today. Classes will cover specific dishes such as arepas, adobo, tomato sauce, meatballs, pizzelles, pepperoni rolls, dumplings, fried chicken, and collard greens, as well as addressing topics such as cooking fresh in food deserts, using local seasonal ingredients and canning and pickling techniques. Students can expect to come away from each class with hands-on knowledge about how to make a dish and hopefully a deeper understanding of the importance of that dish to the people whose kitchens it sprang from.
What are foodways?
Foodways are more than food itself — they are the beliefs and context surrounding food, the person-to-person teaching of its preparation, as well as the community in which the food is enjoyed. The passing down of food traditions from one generation to the next is an integral piece of a community’s identity and culture. We use food to deepen community ties, celebrate important holidays, mark milestones, and enrich our lives. A community’s values are readily communicated in the ways that food is celebrated and shared within it.

This project is made possible by Mid Atlantic Arts’ Central Appalachia Living Traditions program.

Very Still & Hard to See - D&E Theatre & Film
2023-04-13 19:30 - 21:00, 2023-04-14 19:30 - 21:00, 2023-04-15 19:30 - 21:00 | Davis & Elkins College, 100 Campus Dr, Elkins, WV 26241, USA – Harper McNeeley Auditorium, United States
Tickets for the spring theatre production are now available! Seating limited! Reservations required!

Presented in the style of Le Théâtre du Grand-Guignol, very still and hard to see by Steve Yockey is a cycle of seven loosely connected horror-themed plays with musical interludes that all take place in a haunted California hotel.

From riding in an erratic elevator and dealing with possessive ghosts to managing an ever-expanding hole in the floor armed only with cleaning supplies, these encounters with the unknown chillingly collapse the distance between the real and the surreal and remind us that, sometimes, bad things do happen for a reason.

Please note the play depicts intimate partner violence, has a reference to child abuse, and contains profanity.

Performances are April 13 – 15 @ 7:30 PM in Harper McNeeley Auditorium.
The show runs ~90 minutes with no intermission.

ONLY 50 SEATS Available per night!
Seats can be reserved at the following link:

Guests are being asked to enter through the loading dock of Harper McNeeley Auditorium, located around the back of the Myles Center for the Arts. Multiple signs and ushers will be available to assist audiences in locating the correct entrance.
