We interviewed Erica Mani, CEO of American Red Cross Central Appalachia Region, and Jenny Parsons, Senior VP-Market Manager Treasury and Charleston Community President at Huntington National Bank.
We discussed the upcoming Charleston Ballet’s Dracula performance scheduled for Friday & Saturday, October 7th & 8th at the Clay Center in Charleston, WV.
The Charleston Ballet, the Official West Virginia State Ballet, was formed in 1956 by Andre Van Damme. A Belgian native, Van Damme achieved great success as the first star dancer with the Royal Opera. His vision was to provide stage experience in a professional atmosphere for West Virginia dancers and create a greater appreciation for the art of ballet. That vision still continues today under the artistic direction of Kim R. Pauley.
Erica discussed the natural partnership with the Charleston Ballet production of Dracula: The Seduction. Because of course, they both ‘want your blood’.
Erica also discussed the partnership in regards to Dracula’s Ball which is set for 9:00 – 11:00 p.m. on Saturday, October 8, 2022 after the performance at the Clay Center.
