    CHARLESTON, WV — West Virginia's Division of Culture and History will celebrate the traditional music of West Virginia on Memorial Day weekend, May 24-25, at the Culture Center during the 37th annual Vandalia Gathering. The family-friendly event is free.

Performances of the comedy "Inspecting Carol" are planned at 8 p.m. Dec. 14-15 at Oglebay Institute's Towngate Theatre, 2118 Market Street in Wheeling.

Written by Daniel Sullivan, "Inspecting Carol" follows a theater company's troubled annual production of "A Christmas Carol." Like a dysfunctional family, the theater group is made up of eccentric characters taking themselves way too seriously as they bicker, whine and occasionally rebel.

Call 304-242-7700 to reserve seats. For those buying seats at the door, Towngate's box office opens one hour before all shows and can be reached at 304-233-0820.
