Two Tales from the Twilight Zone

Two pieces by Earl Hamner, originally written for the TV series, adapted for the stage by Earl Hamner and Peter Coy. Most fans of the long-running TV series, THE WALTON’S, don’t realize that creator Earl Hamner also wrote teleplays for the TWILIGHT ZONE. Nelson County’s Hamner Theater brings Hamner’s own twist to bewitchin’ and enchantment to the stage with adaptations of “Jess-Belle,” the tale of a young woman who makes a deal with the Devil for love, and “The Bewitchin’ Pool,” where troubled youngsters escape to and find a happier unreality.

Uncle Vanya

OnStage March 8 - 18

Anton Chekhov's emotionally charged play about yearning and desire is one of the masterpieces of the modern theater. First produced in Moscow in 1899, Chekhov's drama of loss and disillusion, thwarted desire and frustrated longing is as potent today as it was at the turn of the century.

The Hamner is presenting the world premiere of an adaptation written by the Head of Playwriting at U Va, Doug Grissom.
