We try to take in some cultural activities in the area around Hawksbill Cabin whenever we can. Big City readers may scoff at the idea that there is a genuinely good time to be had in Luray and its environs, but read on and see what you're missing.
On a tip from Howard at Evergreen Outfitters, we learned about a one act play festival planned for last Saturday at the performing arts center downtown - read about it at: http://performingartsluray.org/oneact.html. Five presentations were planned, although eventually the school group who was going to do Spoon River Anthology couldn't make it.
We went to dinner at Artisans (web: http://www.artisansgrill.com/), a place that we more often go to for lunch, but have enjoyed in the evenings for special occasions - we were there on July 4 as a matter of fact. After a nice time at the restaraunt we went over to the One Act Festival.
We arrived for the final three plays, which were, The Open Road, by the Randolph-Macon Academy Theatre Troupe, Mother Figure, by the PAL Players, and Splitting Issues, also by the PAL Players. Turns out that Howard was a cast member in Splitting Issues, an adult-themed comedy - very funny!
We really had a nice time at the event. We're starting to know and recognize friends here, so that contributed to a fun night out. And we'll be keeping an eye out for more things like this in the future.

Sounds like a good time! I enjoy theatrical performances very much. I was actually a thespian in high school. Unfortunately I haven't been to too many things since college.
By the way, your place doesn't happen to be near Jewell Hollow Road, does it? On my wanderings last time, I passed a place I thought could have been the cabin.
Thanks for your comments, Evan.
We enjoyed the Luray plays so much we're going to make sure we have an eye on what's going on there from now on.
I read your post about the wanderings on Jewel Hollow Road. We're further south than that, closer to Stanley and to Jordan Hollow. But there are some back roads that connect us to it - that could be our secret getaway route when we need one.
