On Tuesday, May 31, 2022, The Ohio Valley Cloak & Dagger Company partnered with Oglebay Institute's Towngate Theatre and Elmhurst: The House of Friendship to present a special live audio drama, "That's Just the Way It Was," starring The Elmhurst Radio Players. Funded by the Creative Aging for Lifelong Learning Grant through Oglebay Institute, "That's Just the Way It Was" is based on stories from the lives of Elmhurst's residents and features a century's worth of experiences. During the course of the production, you'll hear tales of the Great Depression, the Flood of 1936, World War II, life in the 50s, and the origins behind such local milestones as the founding of Towngate Theatre and Wheeling Park High School. Featuring: Jessie Coleman, Charlene Goodwin, Jeanne Hicks, James Hossman, Shirley Milton, Penny Mourat, Bertha Sacco, Bettie Steele, Bea Stelmach, Kathryn Wallington, and Emily Wilson, with Pete Fernbaugh, Karissa Martin, and Tim Thompson.
