“Ghost Sonata” To Be Performed
At Limestone Theatre March 14-16:
Limestone College’s Department of Theatre will present “The Ghost Sonata” during a three-night run March 14-16.
Show time each day at Limestone Theatre, located at 130 Leadmine Street in Gaffney, is 7:30 p.m.
The Expressionist play from 1907 by Swedish playwright August Strindberg centers around the supernatural, past crimes and the guilt that comes with them, deception, and societal masks. The Ghost Sonata relates the adventures of a young student, who idealizes the lives of the inhabitants of a stylish apartment building in Stockholm. He makes the acquaintance of the mysterious Jacob Hummel, who helps him to find his way into the apartment, only to find that it is a nest of betrayal and sickness. The world, the student learns, is hell and human beings must suffer to achieve salvation. The play centers on a family of strangers who meet for the sake of meeting.
Dr. Tim Baxter-Ferguson is serving as the Director and Vandy Scoates is the Set Designer.
Advance tickets are available through www.TicketLeap.com. Adult tickets are $8 each, while student and senior citizen tickets are $6 each. Limestone faculty, staff, and students will be admitted for free. Tickets will also be available at the box office prior to each performance.

Based on looks alone, Chatham County Line conjures a sepia-toned timelessness by huddling around a single microphone on stage, playing traditional string band instrumentation while clad in suits and ties. But for nearly two decades, the Raleigh, NC-based outfit has consistently crafted top-notch, original modern acoustic music that draws upon American roots forefathers like bluegrass inventor Bill Monroe and folk innovator John Hartford while acknowledging its own members’ backgrounds in rock ‘n’ roll band.
Characterized by poignant songwriting and inventive arrangements, Chatham County Line’s latest album, Autumn, sees the quartet working comfortably in its sweet spot: Built around songwriter/guitarist Dave Wilson’s clever lines and compelling vignettes, the record is a treasure trove of the wistful balladry and dynamic toe-tappers that’ve become the band hallmarks. John Teer (mandolin/fiddle), Chandler Holt (banjo), and Greg Readling (bass) add stellar three- and four- harmonies for vocal highlights, while their impeccable yet unconventional picking—rooted in bluegrass but informed by a wealth of other influences—impresses without overshadowing Wilson’s rich storytelling.
From elegant European concert halls to large American folk festivals, Chatham County Line has become a fixture on both sides of the Atlantic, where the musical relationships fostered by its consistent line-up are apparent through an unspoken chemistry that allows the freedom for improvisational flashes that seem as polished as the rest of its set. For a veteran ensemble that’s long made music on its own terms, perhaps its toughest task is now choosing which of the many gems from its seven albums get to shine in a given performance.

As the result of the curse of a once beautiful witch, a baker and his wife are childless.
