Abstract:
Early Station’s depot closing can be easily explained: Atlantic Coast’s ceasing operation meant the closure of a station once providing passage to towns like Ahoskie and Norfolk three times a day. The more recent spelling of the town’s name as Earleys can be explained as an error; it was named for the Early family. As for the light seen around the abandoned depot, it has yielded no explanation and much speculation. Speculations for this phenomenon: stories always involving a man’s decapitation and everlasting search by the man’s spirit for his head.

Started at the Richard Theatre in 1922, Ahoskie’s Gallery Theatre still puts on plays depicting areas across the world and spanning across time. Plays from last season include The Crucible, Mary Poppins, and Bagdad Café—the Musical. Next season’s productions include The Grapes of Wrath, The Foreigner, and Into the Woods. Supported by grants and an annual fund drive, this business also develops budding talent through the Summer Youth Theatre Workshop.
