Featuring performances by nationally acclaimed bluegrass artists alongside regional favorites, the film reveals the passion, craftsmanship, and enduring spirit that make this four-day festival one of West Virginia's most authentic musical experiences.
Set against the scenic backdrop of the Branch Mountains, BETWEEN THE STRINGS is a celebration of heritage, community, and the timeless power of music to connect generations.

ALL ABOARD FOR MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS
All aboard for Agatha Christie's MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS - Adapted by Ken Ludwig for the stage.
Just after midnight, a snowdrift stops the Orient Express in its tracks. The luxurious train is surprisingly full for the time of the year, but by the morning it is one passenger fewer. An American tycoon lies dead in his compartment, stabbed eight times, his door locked from the inside. Isolated and with a killer in their midst, the passengers rely on detective Hercule Poirot to identify the murderer – in case he or she decides to strike again.

DISCOVER THE McCOY-McMECHEN MUSEUM
When McCoy’s Grand Theatre matriarch Eunice Dasher McCoy passed away, she left a powerful legacy behind. In her will, she ensured that McCoy’s Grand would be preserved—not torn down, not radically altered—so future generations could experience the theatre much as audiences did in its golden age. Built in 1927, McCoy’s Grand has seen careful updates over the years, yet it remains remarkably true to its original character. Walking through the building today feels like stepping back in time, where the spirit of classic cinema, live music, and community theatre still lingers in every corner.
The McCoy-McMechen Theater & Museum brings this history to life. Inside, visitors will discover film archives, original architectural plans, vintage movie posters, historic photographs, production memorabilia, old tickets, performance schedules, and original signage—each piece telling part of the story of this beloved landmark and the generations it has served. A favorite destination during Hardy County’s Heritage Weekend each September, the museum welcomes visitors year-round who are curious about local history, classic movie houses, and the enduring role of the arts in small-town America. The Board of Directors of McCoy’s Grand remains deeply committed to honoring Eunice McCoy’s vision—preserving the museum’s heritage while keeping the theatre vibrant and active with performances, concerts, and community events.
We invite you to stop by, explore the exhibits, and experience the living history of one of Hardy County’s true cultural treasures: the McCoy-McMechen Theater & Museum.
