Honnahlee is the only single specialty toy store in Lewisburg. This toy wonderland is a treat for children and adults alike, complete with a plethora of costumes, train sets and tiny kitchens ready to entertain tots while their parent’s explore.

The new owners of Honnahlee, Margaret and Melvin Dolan, have lived and worked in the Lewisburg area most of their lives and certainly call it home. While working at the Wild Bean owned by Melvin's brother, and located next door to Honnahlee, they were fortunate to meet and form a friendship with the former owners of Honnahlee, Roger and Courtney Smith.

"The town was pretty upset when Roger and Courtney were thinking of closing Honnahlee. Honnahlee had been here for 13 years, and was very much a part of the community, so we decided to buy the store”, says Margaret.

“We are decorating the store and selecting toys, and we plan to keep the same kinds of toys; educational, outdoor, and traditional toys. There are a few new companies that we are buying from and looking at a few more. Some of our favorites are Nano blocks (like tiny Legos) and Fred and Friends (fun items for both kids and parents). We are definitely keeping most of the Honnahlee standards like Klutz, Melissa and Doug, Creativity for Kids, Gamewright and Toysmith.”

“Some new green companies we found are Plantoys made from recycled wood, and Animalz which donates a portion of sales to environmental organizations.“

“We are also buying more USA made items like RoyToys traditional building sets, Fractules magnets and Keva building planks. It is so hard to decide on what to buy for the store when you want everything.”



Margaret states, “ hopefully all of our visitors will enjoy the store as much as we do and Honnahlee will continue to bring fun and joy to the children of this great community, Lewisburg.”

Check out the Greenbrier Valley Theatre’s 2012 season ..... there is something for everyone.

Greenbrier Valley Theatre’s 45th anniversary season will kick off in April with The Happy Memories Club. Barbara Bates Smith will perform her one-woman show, based on a Lee Smith story, about the importance of preserving the memories – both good and bad – that help shape and influence one’s life.

Barbara Bates Smith will also conduct workshops designed to help stimulate memories and encourage attendees to share and record events important to them.

In May, the Greenbrier Valley Theatre will present the Tony Award-winning musical Cabaret. For this production of the Broadway classic, the theatre will be transformed into the Kit Kat Klub, the 1930s Berlin cabaret lounge featured in the show. Audiences will be treated to a dinner theatre as they are seated at cabaret tables and served by wait staff dressed in period attire.

“The dinner theatre experience will be a great way to kick off the season,” said GVT General Manager Pamela Paul, adding audiences are also welcome to get in the spirit of the show. “We hope our audiences will dress up, too, to get the most out of the experience.”

The season continues in June with Floyd Collins, the true story of a Kentucky caver and farmer who dreamed of turning a nearby cave into a tourist attraction but instead became the subject of an intense media circus after becoming trapped 200 feet underground. The haunting musical features a mix of ballads, bluegrass and folk.

Greenbrier Valley Theatre’s summer repertory season will transport audiences to a swamp in modern day Alabama with Duck Hunter Shoots Angel and to 1913 Paris with The Frugal Repast.

Duck Hunter Shoots Angel is author and playwright Mitch Album’s tale of two bumbling brothers who attempt to shoot a duck but instead believe they have shot an angel. The show takes off when a cynical
tabloid journalist catches wind of the story and decides to investigate for himself.

The Frugal Repast tells what happens when the two impoverished clowns depicted in a Picasso etching of the same name decide to steal the artwork for ransom. What happens next provokes both laughter
and thought in what The New York Times describes as a “lovely, compact tale.”

In August, the Greenbrier Valley Theatre will present Why Do Fools Fall in Love?, another musical by the author of The Marvelous Wonderettes and Winter Wonderettes. The musical, which features classic songs including “I Will Follow Him” and “You Don’t Have to Say You Love Me,” joins four girlfriends who have gathered for a bachelorette party in 1962.

The Arthur Miller classic The Crucible will open in September. Set in Salem, Mass., the Tony Award-winning play recounts the horrific events surrounding the infamous Salem Witch Trials, which marked a time in history during which paranoia, hysteria and deceit gripped the Puritan towns of New England.

The Greenbrier Valley Theatre will close its 2012 season in December with the return of A Christmas Carol. This retelling of the Charles Dickens’ classic, which has become a traditional highlight of the Christmas season in Lewisburg, combines children from GVT’s After-School Program as well as talented community actors in delightful songs and lively dances.

“We’ve been working toward these productions for months and we can’t wait for them to come to life,” Paul said.

Individual show tickets as well as season tickets are available for purchase at the Greenbrier Valley Theatre box office, by phone at 304-645-3838 or online at the GVT website.

The programs are also presented with financial assistance from the West Virginia Division of Culture and History and the National Endowment for the Arts, with approval from the West Virginia Commission on the Arts.
